The Poulenc Trio[1][2][3][4][5] is an American chamber music ensemble and oboe-bassoon-piano trio, formed in 2003. The current members are pianist Irina Kaplan Lande, bassoonist Bryan Young and New York Philharmonic principal oboist Liang Wang. Wang joined the group in 2015[6][7] after the departure of founding oboist Vladimir Lande.[8]
Collaborations
The Poulenc Trio has performed with notable collaborators, including Grammy-winners Hilary Hahn[9] and David Shifrin,[10] Avery Fisher Grant-recipients Anthony McGill[11] and Alexander Fiterstein,[12] and has recorded with the poet and Guggenheim Fellow, Lia Purpura.[13][14]
Recordings
The Trio's performances have been broadcast on American public radio programs including NPR's Performance Today[15] and PRX's Wolf Trap Live from Center Stage.[16] The Trio has released recordings on the Marquis Classics[17] and on the Delos/Naxos labels.[18][19]
Repertoire
The group is named[20] after the composer Francis Poulenc, whose 1926 Trio for oboe, bassoon, and piano (Poulenc Trio at AllMusic) is among the most popular works[21] for the combination of instruments. Other notable examples of works written for the combo include trios by André Previn (Previn Trio at AllMusic) and Jean Françaix (Françaix Trio at AllMusic). The Poulenc Trio has also commissioned and performed arrangements of works by Beethoven, Stravinsky, Mikhail Glinka, Rossini, Duke Ellington, Astor Piazzolla, Paquito D'Rivera, Charlie Chaplin and others.[22]
Commissions
The Poulenc Trio regularly commissions works by living composers. The group has premiered 22 new works since its founding, including:

The high point of the evening, though, was Poulenc's Trio for Piano, Oboe and Bassoon from 1926. It's an urbane, sophisticated piece that unfolds with near-effortless lightness and grace, and these players clearly have it in their collective bloodstream.

The trio performed an arrangement of arias from the Rossini opera, "The Italian Girl in Algiers," that let the musicians indulge in some of the showiest playing of the afternoon, and that brought the near-capacity crowd in the PAC's Williams Theatre to its feet.
