The Ahn Trio, consisting of three sisters who bring a new energy and excitement to the chamber music world, will perform at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 8 at the James Lumber Center for the Performing Arts at the College of Lake County
Maria, Lucia and Angella Ahn breathe new life into the standard piano-trio literature with commissioned works from visionary composers. Born in Seoul, Korea and educated at the Juilliard School in New York City, cellist Maria, pianist Lucia and violinist Angella have 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 trio’s latest CD, “Lullaby for My Favorite Insomniac” is a showcase of this vibrant and original music, and was No. 8 on the Billboard Charts for 26 weeks in the classical album category.
The trio has been touring successfully for more than 10 years and has six albums to date. Maria, Lucia and Angella thrive on dissolving the barriers between art forms. They have fused their work with that of dancers, pop singers, DJs, painters, installation artists, photographers, lighting designers, ecologists and even kite makers. The Ahns enjoyed a successful collaboration with the David Parsons Dance Company, which toured extensively to critical acclaim.
The Ahn Trio is in high demand, performing and leading master classes and workshops across the United States and around the world. Whether playing in Vienna’s Musikverein, New York’s Lincoln Center, Leipzig’s Gewandhaus, Beijing’s Concert Hall, Istanbul’s Aya Irini in Topkapi Palace or for 10,000 screaming fans at the World Music Festival in the Czech Republic, they share their innovative spirit and ever-evolving vision of music.
