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.
Ahhhh, this is how Maria’s sweet cello suffers flying with many airlines with different (sometimes outrageous) regulations!
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
