The Hamilton College Performing Arts Series continues with the Ahn Trio on Saturday, Sept. 17, at 7:30 p.m., in Wellin Hall, Schambach Center for Music and the Performing Arts. The program includes music by Kenji Bunch and Astor Piazzolla as well as arrangements of classics by The Doors, David Bowie and Prince.

Hailed as “exacting and exciting musicians” by the LA Times, the three sisters of the Ahn Trio (Lucia on the piano, Angella on the violin, and Maria on the cello) have earned a reputation for embracing 21st century classical music with their unique style and innovative collaborations.   In 2011, President Obama invited the Ahn Trio to perform at the White House for a state dinner honoring South Korea.

The Ahn sisters were born in Seoul, Korea, and educated at the Juilliard School in New York City. Reflecting the two cultures they grew up in, the Trio brings a new energy and excitement to the chamber music world, frequently collaborating with dance companies and other musicians. The Ahn Trio performed at Hamilton College in 2012 with the Nai-Ne Chen Dance Company.

Dedicated to educating and inspiring the next generation of musicians, Angella is a professor of violin and viola at Montana State University, in Bozeman, Mont. Maria teaches cello and is the head of the String Department at the Harlem School of the Arts in NYC. Lucia has a growing private studio.

The Performing Arts Series is sponsored, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. Tickets for this event are $20 for adults, $15 for senior citizens and Hamilton employees, and $5 for students. All seating is general admission.
