Born in Seoul and educated at Juilliard, the Ahn Trio has redefined the art and architecture of chamber music, breathing new life into the standard piano trio literature. Sisters Maria (cello), Lucia (piano) and Angella (violin) return to Houston for the first time since 2005 to perform a new program with works by some of the most visionary composers.

Over the years they have performed commissioned works from such composers as Michael Nyman, Maurice Jarre, Pat Metheny, Paul Schoenfield, Mark O’ Connor, Kenji Bunch, Nikolai Kapustin and Paul Chihara. The women have fused their work with that of dancers, including a collaboration with David Parsons Dance Company, as well as DJs, painters, installation artists, photographers, lighting designers, ecologists, and even kite makers.

The trio’s latest CD, Lullaby for My Favorite Insomniac (released in 2008 by Sony), made No. 8 on the Billboard charts for 26 weeks in the classical album category.
