The Ahn Trio

“We don’t want anyone to classify our music.  We would rather they simply love our music for what it is.  Trying to define modern classical music is like trying to define modern art.” – The Ahn Trio

There is a balance to music performed by trios.  Done well, the trio presents a rich, full sound, yet it is still small and intimate enough to draw you into the music, to make you feel a part of it.  Today we’ll hear from several trios of women making music together.
