Please join the IAS Music & Sound Studies Research and Creative Collaborative as well as W-T-F (Women-Trans-Femme) on Monday, November 6^th, from 4:30-5:30 in Ferguson 280 for a round table discussion and performance by the Ahn Trio. Hailed as "exacting and exciting musicians" by the LA Times, the three sisters of the Ahn Trio (Lucia on the piano, Angella on the violin, and Maria on the cello) have earned a distinguished reputation for embracing 21st century classical music with their unique style and innovative collaborations. In 2011, President Obama invited the Ahn Trio to perform at the White House for a State Dinner honoring South Korea. The Ahn Trio will discuss their own experiences as women, educators, and performers in the professional music world, perform selections from their new album Blue (which features an arrangement of “Purple Rain”!), and answer questions.

The Ahn Trio will also be performing with the James Sewell Ballet in St. Paul on Nov. 3^rd at 8 PM, Nov. 4^th at 8 PM, at Nov. 5^th at 2 PM. Student tickets are available for what promises to be a remarkable performance.
