PROGRAM
Ahn Trio interpret Beethoven, Bernstein, Piazzolla
Sister Power: Chamber music got its start as "house music" -- performances at home, among family and friends. This week on Saint Paul Sunday, Bill McGlaughlin welcomes a brilliant threesome of sisters who began to perform together as children and have since shared their music with the world. Born in Korea, Ahn Trio -- comprised of violinist Angella Ahn and her twin sisters cellist Maria and pianist Lucia -- first caught America's eye when they were featured in a 1987 Time magazine cover story entitled "Asian-American Whiz Kids." In 1997, they appeared on MTV and went on to produce their own program special on the network called "Ahn-Plugged." This week on Saint Paul Sunday they'll perform music of Beethoven, Leonard Bernstein, and Astor Piazzolla.
