The critically acclaimed Ahn Trio will perform a concert on Thursday, March 8, 2012 at Noon in the BTC Auditorium.
Born in Seoul, Korea and educated at the Juilliard School in New York City, the members of the Ahn Trio — cellist Maria, pianist Lucia, and violinist Angella — are constantly redefining the art and architecture of chamber music. Breathing new life into the standard piano-trio literature with commissioned works from visionary composers such as Michael Nyman, Maurice Jarre, Pat Metheny, Paul Schoenfield, Mark O’ Connor, Kenji Bunch, Nikolai Kapustin, and Paul Chihara, the Ahn Trio brings a new energy and excitement to the chamber music world. The trio’s latest CD, “Lullaby for My Favorite Insomniac” (released by Sony), is a showcase of this vibrant and original music, which made No. 8 on the Billboard Charts for 26 weeks in the Classical album category.
In October, the trio performed at the White House at a State Dinner for President and Mrs. Obama, President Lee Myung-bak and Mrs. Kim Yoon-Ok of South Korea.
The Cultural Affairs Program is pleased to announce the addition of this talented trio to the Spring 2012 roster of cultural events. Visit the Ahn Trio at www.ahntrio.com
