The Ahn Trio, composed of musical sisters Maria Ahn, cello, Lucia Ahn, piano, and Angella Ahn, violin, will be returning to the Alberta Bair Theater for a performance at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. In addition, the Ahns will present a lecture demonstration from 5 to 6:30 p.m. tonight on stage at the ABT. The trio will discuss and perform excerpts from the works they will perform in their Saturday concert. Admission to the lecture demonstration is free.
Born in Seoul, Korea, and educated at Juilliard in New York City, the sisters have breathed new life into the standard piano trio literature with commissioned works from visionary composers like Pat Metheny, Kenji Bunch, Maurice Jarre, Nikolai Kapustin, Mark O'Connor and Michael Nyman. The trio's latest CD, "Lullaby for My Favorite Insomniac," made No. 8 on the Billboard charts in the U.S.
The performance of the Ahn Trio is part of the Alberta Bair Theater's Orser Outstanding Performances Series and sponsored by Lake Hills Golf Club and the Alberta Bair Board of Directors.
