A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH THE AHN TRIO
Three virtuosi float on a stream of new Music live

The Ahn Trio are three sisters from Korea who have become darlings of the classical world for their bold interpretations and new music. Their latest album, Lullaby for My Favorite Insomniac, slides towards ambient chamber music with new compositions from Kenji Bunch, Michael Nyman and some clever covers. In an intimate performance, we hear The Ahn Trio playing live, on Echoes.

Wednesday 05/28
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH BALMORHEA
Ambient chamber music from the Americana heartland

Balmorhea is a town and a state park in Texas, and it's the inspiration behind a quartet of the same name. They've taken the dictum, "quiet is the new loud" to heart in a soft melodic brand of instrumental rock with piano, classical strings, acoustic guitars and the occasional banjo and Telecaster. They've released critically acclaimed albums including their latest CD, Rivers Arms. Balmorhea comes into the Echoes Living Room to play live.

AN INTERVIEW WITH JAPANCAKES: AMBIENT COUNTRY ROCK
An instrumental guitar band taps country and classical with a touch of quirk

Japancakes are a band from Athens, Georgia, that mixes electric guitar with pedal steel guitar, classical strings with synthesizers and emerges with a sound that's got country airs strung out in classical refrains. Their earlier CDs have recently been reissued. We return to our interview with three of the central figures in this band that expands the alternative Athens tradition.
