“All the youthful fire, passion and commitment one could possibly want.” – Toronto Star

Born in Seoul, Korea and educated at the Juilliard in New York City, the Ahn Trio (cellist Maria, pianist Lucia and violinist Angella) has created new energy and excitement in chamber music by commissioning and performing works from visionary composers such as Michael Nyman, Maurice Jarre, Pat Metheny, Mark O' Connor and Kenji Bunch. The sisters thrive on destroying barriers, fusing their work with dancers, DJs and electronic-music artists. The trio’s unique mix of talent, vitality and innovation earns the respect of seasoned classical music fans and draws new audiences to the genre.

The Seattle Times says, “they are reinventing chamber music with their multicultural assortment of composers and a huge talent. Their take on chamber music is intimate yet grand, innovative yet classic. To this listener, it's a revolution.” The Los Angeles Times concurs, claiming “Their musical achievement, individually and as an ensemble, is remarkable.”
