Item Special Note

Born in Seoul, Korea and educated at Juilliard in New York City, the members of the Ahn Trio-- sisters Maria, Lucia, and Angella-- are redefining the art and architecture of chamber music. The group's dynamic and nuanced performances have earned it a place as one of the world's premier piano trios.

The Ahn sisters breathe new life into the standard piano-trio literature, as well as push the boundaries of their craft, by commissioning works from visionary composors like Kenji Bench, Maurice Jarre, and Michael Nyman. The trio's latest CD, Groovebox (EMI Classics), is a showcase of this original music.

Lucia, Angella, and Maria thrive on dissolving the barriers between art forms. They have fused their work with that of painters, installation artists, photographers, lighting designers, ecologists, and even kite makers. Most recently, they have received critical acclaim for their collaborative project with the David Parsons Dance Company, in which both the trio and dancers share the stage in a unique duet of kinetics and sound.

Possessing an enviable combination of talent and style, they have been natural subjects for the fashion pages of the likes of Vogue and GQ. In 2003, they were named three of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People.

The Ahn Trio is in high demand, performing and leading master classes and workshops across the United States and around the world. Wherever the Ahns go, they share their innovative spirit and ever-evolving vision of music.
