We had a great trip to Mexico, and have some photos that we would like to share with you:
Ahn Trio at the San Miguel de Allende Chamber Music Festival Aug 7-11. We played the world premiere of Pat Metheny’s “Yu-Ryung” and the Mexican premiere of almost every piece on the program, most of which were either written or transcribed for us.


Angella and Maria rehearsing at the concert hall in Mexico. We were super excited to play the world premiere of Pat Metheny’s “Yu-Ryung” in Mexico, and people loved it!

The Angela Peralta Theater in beautiful San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where we performed. We were thrilled that our first ever performance in Mexico was successful and that all our CDs were sold out at the concerts. We felt ‘mucho’ loved!
We savored authentic Mexican food for five days!
Teatro de la Republica in Queretaro (where we also performed) nearby city of San Miguel. Another charming city.
The famous Parroquia Chuch in San Miguel was one of the most beautiful buildings we have seen.
Colors on the streets, which you see everywhere in San Miguel, are so inspiring and beautiful. No wonder they attract so many artists here. Side note: Neal Cassady (from Jack Kerouac’s ‘on the road’ book) died here.
Live broadcast of our concerts was aired in the same evening in the main square. It was set up in such a beautiful spot!
We became tourists ourselves in the main square.
When we got to the square, people started cheering us instead of watching the screen…We loved their warm welcome in Mexico!
Angella, Lucia and Maria with the Mexico City Youth Philharmonic Orchestra students.
Having the Parroquia as a backdrop, I have to say, was a bit more of an exquisite and exotic view than the TV-screens in Times Square!
With very talented students at the San Miguel Chamber Music festival, whom we gave formal master classes earlier that day. They played for us as we walked by the outdoor cafe where they were playing a show.
That’s all for now. We will post some photos from our Lincoln Center Out of Doors concert next. Have a great week!
Best from Maria

We had a great time at the iTunes Live Festival in London last week! Here are some pictures that we would like to share with you.
Classic FM (Classical music radio in UK) interviewed us at Koko in London before the show (from left: Lucia, Angella and Maria):
We loved being part of the iTunes Live Festival!! We were the only classical group chosen to perform at the festival!
Maria, Angella and Lucia at Koko. Koko is a converted theater and a great fun venue with a vibe similar to Irving Plaza in NYC:
Juno (an electronic music artist from Berlin. We invited him to perform with us on a few tracks) and Lucia with the iTunes crew. They were super nice even when we were a bit panicky as we only had 45min. for soundcheck. Thanks, guys!
Angella, Lucia, Michael Nyman and Maria at the Barbican Hall:
Pat Metheny invited us to his performance with the Gary Burton Quartet, so we went with Michael Nyman. The concert was incredibly inspiring! Pat’s guitar playing is just phenomenal, and we felt very lucky that we happened to be in London and got to see him play. We are also grateful that Pat wrote a piece for us, which we will play the “world premier” of in Mexico next week.
Michael Nyman with Lucia and Angella. Incredibly enough, Michael actually sat in for Lucia during our performance at the iTunes Festival, and Angella and I played the music written by Michael. What an honor! We still can’t believe he played with us.
Juno, Angella and Lucia in the backstage area. We all were a little bit nervous (in contrary to how relaxed we look in the picture), since this was the live recording that would be made available on iTunes.
That’s all for now. We are leaving for Mexico soon to perform a few shows next week. Have a great week!

Well, it took us 59 bars of chocolate tatranky, 25 bars of hazelnut tatranky, 38 cans of iced coffee, countless slices of pizza and 7 fidorkas (wafers) to record the Tata-Ahn album, and we finished it in 3.5 days! Here are some photos from the recording session (note the Czech film crew taping us):

Long hours of listening and reviewing recorded tracks
Lastly, our Lullaby for My Favorite Insomniac CD has been released in the Czech Republic. You can read the local coverage here. (if you can read Czech!)
That’s all for now. Have a great week!

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE AHN TRIOPosted in Uncategorized | Tagged music, classical music, korean, sony bmg masterworks, ahn trio, XM Radio, billboard | No Comments »
Hi everyone, this is Maria from the Ahn Trio. We are in Prague this week and the next for the rehearsals & recording session with Tata Bojs, a popular alternative rock band in Czech Republic. We are going to post photos from the rehearsals on our MySpace page as well, but here are some more from our first week in Prague:

Maria and Vlada of Tata Bojs, laughing at Mandosa’s jokes.

Mandosa, Marek (ex-tata member & composer for the Tata transcription) and Lucia. Note the “I Love Ahn Trio” t-shirts!

Meal break at a typical “putyka” restaurant - a very basic pub, where we enjoyed traditional Czech dish such as pickled sausages, which none of our Czech friends ate!

Lucia and Angella trying to locate the garden pub for our post-rehearsal get together.

Beautiful view of Prague … it must be the most romantic city in the world! (No wonder the boys of Tata Bojs are from here.)

Enjoying beer at our favorite beer garden overlooking an incredible view of Prague, after a long, sweaty rehearsal.
We will have more rehearsals & recording session to follow this coming week, so stay tuned for the next update. Have a great week!
