Angella Ahn enjoys her success as the violinist for the Ahn Trio.  Her trio, comprised of Angella and her two twin sisters, was born while all three studied at the Juilliard School of Music, and now tours the world, playing in such venues as The Kennedy Center in D.C., New York's Lincoln Center, Vienna's Musikverein, Leipzig’'s Gewandhaus, Argentina’s Teatro Colon, and The Beijing Concert Hall. 

In 2011, President Obama invited the Ahn Trio to perform at the White House for a State Dinner honoring South Korea.

Angella and her trio have taken it as their mission to expand the piano trio repertoire, and have commissioned over 30 new works by composers including Pat Metheny and Mark O’Connor. They recently were guest performers at TED: Ideas worth spreading. The trio has six highly acclaimed recordings, one of which won Germany's highest musical honor, the Echo Award.  The latest, “Lullaby for My Favorite Insomniac” made No. 8 on the Billboard Charts for 26 weeks in the Classical album category.

A Professor of Violin and Viola at Montana State University, in Bozeman, MT, Angella shares the much sought-after technique of her mentor, the late Dorothy DeLay. She plays a 2013 violin made especially for her by renowned luthier Sam Zygmuntowicz of Brooklyn, New York.
