Time for Three performed on Show 346 in Boston, MA on October 1, 2017.

Time for Three – violinist Nicolas (Nick) Kendall, violinist and From the Top alum Charles Yang, and double-bassist Ranaan Meyer – is a group that defies any traditional genre classification, happily and infectiously. With an uncommon mix of virtuosity and showmanship, the American trio performs music from Bach to Brahms and beyond, giving world-premieres by Pulitzer Prize-winners William Bolcom and Jennifer Higdon as well as playing originals and their own arrangements of everything from bluegrass and folk tunes to ingenious mash-ups of hits by the Beatles,  Kanye West, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake and more.
