Ahn Trio Konzert

Klassik Konzert der ECHO-Preisträgerinnen AHN TRIO aus NEW YORK am Samstag, den 6. Mai, um 19 Uhr

AHN TRIO, Juilliard-trained Korean-American sisters group from New York City known for their innovative take on modern classical music is releasing a new album BLUE on Saturday,  6th May. 

Ahn Trio, made up of three South Korean-born sisters from New York City, pianist Lucia, violinist Angella and cellist Maria, known for programming music by living composers and doing unique collaborations (Michael Nyman, Maurice Jarre & Pat Metheny have written for them) is releasing their 9th album BLUE this spring. While people often give children picture albums, the Ahn sisters wanted to give Lucia’s son Blue a musical album. Says Ahn Trio “BLUE is a kind of a musical diary of Ahn Trio’s past and present, celebrating a family of musicians, artists and musical pioneers who have inspired us; hanging out with Prince at Paisley Park and playing Purple Rain, working with Pat Metheny on the piece Yuryung he wrote for us, performing Skylife at the Obama White House. Meeting extraordinary female leaders from around the world at TEDWomen, having been invited to perform there, falling in love with Brazil and the bossa nova, exploring new colors with the great jazz musician Nguyên Lê from Paris, collaborating with Juilliard class mate Kenji Bunch, and Hyung-ki Joo of Igudesman & Joo. Our message expressed with Little Wing the iconic Jimi Hendrix song arranged by D.D. Jackson, which fit perfectly into our vision, “She’s walking through the clouds, with a circus mind that’s running wild . . . fly on little wing.” Not only does it sum up how we feel about Blue, but how we feel about our art. May we all fly on.” Eleven tracks include Prince’s iconic Purple Rain, Pat Metheny’s Yuryung, Jimi Hendrix Little Wing, Hyung-ki Joo’s original works Lina’s Waltz and Lullaby for Leo, Antônio Carlos Jobim’s Insensatez. All works recorded are written or especially arranged for the Trio. For the cover, the Trio collaborated with a world-renowned Belgian designer Christian Loos (among numerous other awards, his work was chosen as one of the 20 Most Genius Advertising Campaigns Ever by La Repubblica), who has also designed cellist Maria Ahn’s David Bowie cover album, Je T’aime Bowie in 2014. BLUE was recorded at New York City’s iconic Avatar Studios by Dave Darlington, and mastered by Vlado Meller Mastering.
