The internationally acclaimed ensemble Ahn Trio will make their Sony BMG Masterworks debut on April 1 with Lullaby For My Favorite Insomniac. Sisters Angella (violin), Lucia (piano) and Maria (cello) continue their commitment to modernize and reinvent the standard piano-trio structure on this, their fourth album.
The new album is a fusion of established works with material specially commissioned for the trio. Violinist Angella Ahn explains, 'I don't think there is anything really like playing music that was written for you, working with the composers and with each other, and introducing this music to our audiences. It's really fun.' Included on the record are several tracks that build on the music of fellow Julliard-graduate and award-winning composer Kenji Bunch, a variety of commissioned works by Michael Nyman and Astor Piazzolla and innovative arrangements of music by Pat Metheny and David Bowie. The trio is joined vocally on the record by singer-songwriter Susie Suh. As a special addition, four bonus tracks are included with the new album, which features remixes by Tao of Sound, DJ Spooky, Superdrive and Ra.D.
