This versatile program works just as perfectly for intimate live music venues as it does for traditional concert halls.

Their unique collaborations called for an encore reunion!
The performance at “Bernstein Remix”—featuring Leonard Bernstein’s Piano Trio reimagined with DJ Spooky—was a powerful reminder that classical music is alive and thriving, always the newest music of its time. A new album is currently in the works for 2026. The Ahn Trio previously recorded Bernstein’s Piano Trio, written when he was only 18 years old and studying at Harvard, for their Ahn-plugged album released by EMI Classics.
