Poulenc Trio to Perform at BYU Hawaii

The Poulenc (pronounced "Poo'le ng k) Trio will perform at BYU-Hawaii in the McKay Auditorium Thursday, March 1, at 7:30 p.m.  The world renown group consists of three virtuosos:  Oboist Vladimir Lande, bassoonist, Bryan Young, and pianist Irina Lande.

The Trio was recently featured at Italy's Ravello Festival, where they premiered two new compositions written specifically for the group. The new pieces, by Italian composer Gaetano Panariello and by Russian-American composer Igor Raykhelson, add to the Trio's growing catalog of new commissions, which include two works premiered in 2004 with violinist Hilary Hahn and a new Triple Concerto with orchestra, to be premiered during the 2006-2007 season.

The Trio's busy touring schedule has included recent tours of Russia with Hilary Hahn, Italy at the Ravello and Ville Vesuviane Festivals, the Islands of the Caribbean, and multiple appearances in every region of the United States. Highlights have included performances at the Kennedy Center in Washington and the Hermitage State Museum in Russia.

Olga Busigina of the St. Petersburg Television News, Russia, said members of the group were, "virtuosos of classical and contemporary chamber music.  The performance was a true wonder."
