The Poulenc Trio brings together three uniquely gifted virtuosos, oboist Vladimir Lande, bassoonist Bryan Young, and pianist Irina Lande. Combining brilliant 21st-century vibrancy with the best of European instrumental tradition, the trio's performances leap beyond the ordinary concert experience, transporting audiences into a world of beautiful sonorities, playful rhythms and dramatic excitement. The ensemble's precision and versatility heighten the lyricism of Poulenc, the virtuosity of Rossini, the wit of Jean Francaix and the jazzy elegance of Andre Previn.
As the best of a select few professional wind trios, the Poulenc Trio is committed to expanding the repertoire through the discovery of old masterpieces and new works.

The Trio were recently featured guest artists of 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 recent works premiered with violinist Hilary Hahn and two new Triple Concertos with orchestra, premiered during the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 seasons.
