The Ahn Trio with James Moore: The Art of Collaboration: Sting, Jobim and Baechle

Those who came to Bernstein Remix at TVT2025 will already be acquainted with the awesome Ahn Trio, “classical revolutionaries” (Newsday) who combine razor-sharp technique with the fierce energy of rock stars, seamlessly fusing classical music with rock, jazz, and multimedia. Their exciting and innovative collaborations have wowed audiences around the world. President Obama invited them to perform at the White House State Dinner in honor of South Korean President Lee Myung-bak and First Lady Kim Yoon-ok. The Village Trip is delighted to welcome them back with The Art of Collaboration: Sting, Jobim and Baechle, an unmissable evening of duos, trios and quartets.

Inspired by Sting's 1994 collaboration with Antonio Carlos Jobim on the song "Insensatez", for piano, cello and violin, The Ahn Trio celebrates music that transcends genres and borders with a performance of Dusan Bogdanovic’s Prisms: Six Songs by Sting for piano, violin, cello, and guitar. Commissioned by 3AD and Maria Ahn Music, Bogdanovic’s suite reimagines Sting’s songs through the lens of chamber music scored for various instrumental formations. It is dedicated to Young Joo Rhee, the Ahn sisters' late mother who was “a true inspiration.”  The Ahn Trio will be joined by renowned guitarist James Moore.

The concert also features Pat Metheny’s Yuryung, composed especially for The Ahn Trio, and the world première of We Are Here (Only for a Little While) by Mark Baechle, who will join us for the evening and speak about his work.

The Trio – sisters Maria, cello, Lucia, piano, and violinist Khullip Jeung – will also present the world première of an exciting new work by Emmy Award–winning composer Mark Baechle, scored for cello and piano.
