Time for Three

2023 GRAMMY WINNERS

BEST CLASSICAL INSTRUMENTAL SOLO

BEST CONTEMPORARY CLASSICAL COMPOSITION

Defying convention and boundaries, Time For Three stands at the busy intersection of classical music, Americana, and singer-songwriter. To experience Time For Three (TF3) live is to hear the various eras, styles, and traditions of Western music fold in on themselves and emerge anew. Bonded by an uncommon blend of their instruments fused together with their voices, Charles Yang (violin, vocals), Nicolas “Nick” Kendall (violin, vocals), and Ranaan Meyer (double bass, vocals), have found a unique voice of expression to share with the world.

TF3 has collaborated with a diverse group of artists across many genres including Ben Folds, Branford Marsalis, Joshua Bell, Aoife O’Donovan, Natasha Bedingfield, and Arlo Guthrie. TF3’s latest project is Letters for the Future, released on Deutsche Grammophon. The album of works by Kevin Puts and Jennifer Higdon was recorded with The Philadelphia Orchestra and Xian Zhang and won two GRAMMYs in 2023.

Their Armstrong program “Life and Legacy” will feature classical works by Chopin and Leonard Bernstein as well as virtuosic candenzas, a wonderful Chaconne and new works inspired by Beethoven and Bulgarian folk dances.
