Acclaimed string trio Time For Three, winners of the 2023 Grammy Award for Best Classical Instrumental Solo for their "Letters For The Future" album, is set to perform this Thursday night, March 7, at the "Bridges" series held by New York's Kaufman Music Center.
The performance will start at 7:30 PM at the Abraham Goodman House along 67th Street on Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.
This iteration of the event series will see Time For Three violinists Charles Yang and Nicolas "Nick Kendall, alongside their double bassist Ranaan Meyer, perform with students from KMC and Montclair State University's John J. Cali School of Music.

Time For Three, The 'Benevolent Monster Trio'
In a statement quoted by the Celebrity Series of Boston, Former Principal Conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic: Sir Simon Rattle described the Time For Three trio as "monsters of ability and technique," exclaiming, "Simply put, they're a knockout!"
Sir Rattle continued by saying that alongside their immense talent, they are also "conveyors of an infectious joy that [he] finds both touching and moving."
Indeed, the Grammy-winning band's passion for incorporating a unique blend of Americana, modern pop, and classical canon in their music is highly infectious and strangely inviting despite the uncommon mixture of genres.
On its website, KMC described the viewing experience during a Time For Three live performance as an opportunity to "hear various eras, styles, and traditions of Western music fold in on themselves and emerge anew."
The trio's recent 2023 collaborative album with The Philadelphia Orchestra and its conductor Xian Zhang, "Letters For The Future," not only won them their first and only Grammy, but it also earned a place among the Billboard Top 10.
As for the event, venue tickets for both orchestra and balcony seats are currently selling for $25 plus $4 fees at the official KMC website. For more information on the event, click here.
