The Poulenc Trio, the world's foremost piano wind trio, will perform a special concert to celebrate its newest recording, Poulenc Plays Poulenc. The Trio will be joined by WBJC-FM host Jonathan Palevsky and will be on hand to sign copies of the CD after the concert.

The Poulenc Trio has toured extensively across the United States and at festivals around the world, including the White Nights Festival in Russia with violinist Hilary Hahn, the Ravello Festival in Italy and the Festival San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. The Trio was recently featured in a live performance on National Public Radio's Performance Today. The Trio has a long standing commitment to works of living composers, and has commissioned many new works, including two new concerti for Trio and Orchestra.

The trio has also launced a series which takes place at the University of Baltimore's Performing Arts Theater and showcases the Trio in performances with famed clarinetist and Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient Anthony McGill, and with internationally recognized soprano Hyunah Yu. The concerts are produced in collaboration with the University of Baltimore and with An Die Music Live.

The first concert on September 25, 2009, featured Hyunah Yu. Yu, who currently resides in Baltimore, made her trailblazing operatic debut in the title role of Peter Sellars' Zaide with the Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center. She has since stunned audiences around the world with the poignant beauty of her voice. With the Poulenc Trio, Yu performed rarely-heard art songs, as well as more modern fare.

For the second concert, on March 26, 2010, the Trio will welcome Anthony McGill. McGill currently serves as the principal clarinetist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra in New York, and recently gained worldwide attention for his performance of Aaron Copland's "Simple Gifts" at the historic inauguration of President Barack Obama. McGill will join the Poulenc Trio for an evening of thrilling repertoire for winds and piano.
