Ahn Trio to Perform Music of David Bowie & More at bergenPAC, 5/18
Hailed as "exacting and exciting musicians" by the LA Times, the three sisters of the Ahn Trio (Lucia on the piano, Angella on the violin, and Maria on the cello) have earned a distinguished reputation for embracing 21st century classical music with their unique style and innovative collaborations. In 2011, President Obama invited the Ahn Trio to perform at the White House for a State Dinner honoring South Korea. Ahn Trio has performed in all 50 states, in over 30 countries, and at the prestigious TED Women.
The Ahn sisters were born in Seoul, Korea, and educated at the Juilliard School in New York City. Reflecting the two cultures they grew up in, the Trio brings a new energy and excitement to the chamber music world. Such luminary composers as Michael Nyman, Maurice Jarre, Pat Metheny, Paul Schoenfield, Mark O' Connor, Kenji Bunch, Nikolai Kapustin, and Paul Chihara have written works for them. The trio's latest CD, "Lullaby for My Favorite Insomniac" (released by Sony) is a showcase of their fearless creativity, which made No. 8 on the Billboard Charts for 26 weeks in the Classical album category.
Ms. Ahn also released a cello solo album of David Bowie's covers played on the cello last year on iTunes Worldwide. Whether they are performing in Vienna's Musikverein, Buenos Aires' Teatro Colon, New York's Lincoln Center, Leipzig's Gewandhaus, Beijing's Concert Hall, or Istanbul's Aya Irini in Topkapi Palace, the Ahn Trio share their innovative spirit and ever-evolving vision of music.
