AHN TRIO
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, breathing new life into the standard piano-trio literature with commissioned works from visionary composers like Kenji Bunch, Maurice Jarre, Nikolai Kapustin and Michael Nyman.
The trio's latest CD, Lullaby for My Favorite Insomniac (recorded by their own label, L.A.M.P), is a showcase of this vibrant and original music.
Their first recording, of Ravel and Villa-Lobos trios, brought raves, such as Audio Magazine's "this is one of Ravel's best and never better played", and the next, an EMI recording of trios by Dvorak, Suk, and Shostakovich, won Germany's prestigious ECHO Award. A 1997 MTV appearance on Bryan Adams' "Unplugged" program led to the development of "Ahn-Plugged", which typifies the excitement and energy of the Ahn Trio.
Mostly recently, they have created their own label, L.A.M.P (Lucia Angella Maria Productions), to allow them greater freedom to further explore the new, cutting edge projects they have always pursued. It is precisely this vitality and commitment to innovation that has the Ahn Trio continually drawing new audiences to classical music.
