The Trio was composed for Jo Trio in 1985, and premiered in June 30th of the same year at Hoam Art Hall. Unlike customary design of piano trio, this work relies heavily on the two string instruments. The Trio depicts a path from encounter up to separation of a man (V.cello) and an woman(violin), Their first encounter faces with fierce confrontation between the two. then via concession, they reach at ecstasy. But finally their story ends tragically. What remains lingering after the ends is an women evaporating into outer space and a man dissolving under the earth.
