Profiled in Chamber Music Magazine, the Poulenc Trio has crafted a unique repertoire of rediscovered masterpieces and exciting new works. Along with appearances at the Kennedy Center and the National Gallery of Art, the trio was featured at Italy’s prestigious Ravello Festival, where they premiered two compositions written especially for the group by Gaetano Panariello and Igor Raykhelson.

Three uniquely gifted virtuosos – oboist Vladimir Lande, bassoonist Bryan Young and pianist Irina Kaplan – combine brilliant 21st-century vibrancy with the best of European instrumental tradition, enthralling audiences worldwide.


With nimble creativity, the Poulenc Trio has recently partnered with some of the great American museums, performing remarkable programs that complement current exhibits. Whatever the stage, the trio’s performances leap beyond the ordinary concert experience to a world of beautiful sonorities, playful rhythms and dramatic excitement.
