Roman Borys Cello

Roman Borys is one of Canada's most active chamber musicians. A founding member of the Gryphon Trio, one of North America's finest piano trios, Roman Borys also performs regularly with the Toronto String Quartet as well as with numerous festival ensembles. The Gryphon Trio tours regularly throughout Canada, the United States and Europe and has recently recorded its third CD for the Analekta label. The Gryphon Trio is currently an ensemble-in-residence both at the Music TORONTO chamber music series as well as at the University of Toronto.

As a result of the Gryphon Trio's interest in the creation and commissioning of new works, Roman now dedicates some of his time to producing Gryphon Trio collaborative works as well as larger music projects. Current projects include a new work for piano trio and narrator by composer Omar Daniel and 2001 Giller nominee, writer Michael Redhill, as well as the multimedia work Constantinople, which is set to tour internationally in the 2002-2003 season. Last spring Roman produced events in major centres across Canada for the Department of Canadian Heritage. Hosted by Heritage Minister Sheila Copps, theTomorrow Starts Today events highlighted Canada's cultural diversity as well as its young artistic talent.

Roman Borys was a featured performer in the sound track for the Paul Lonnergan film "You can count on me". The film was the top prize winner at the Sundance Film Festival and was recently nominated for multiple Academy Awards.

Roman Borys performs on the 1824 McConnell-Gagliano cello, on loan from the Canada Council for the Arts Musical Instrument Bank.
