Coastal Concerts presents Time for Three string trio April 13
Members of string trio Time for Three will perform in Coastal Concerts’ Wild Card concert, the final show of its 20th Anniversary Season. The Wild Card is set for 8 p.m., Saturday, April 13, at Bethel United Methodist Church Hall, 4th and Market streets in Lewes. The trio will present a pre-concert talk at 6:30 p.m. in the hall.
Time for Three defies genre classification even in its unconventional string trio composition of two violins and double bass. Violinists Nicolas Kendall and Charles Yang, and double-bassist Ranaan Meyer play elements of classical, country-western, gypsy and jazz idioms, forming a blend all their own.
Kendall, Yang and Meyer all carry a passion for improvisation, composing and arranging, prime elements of the ensemble’s work. The trio also performs its own arrangements of traditional repertoire, and Ranaan Meyer provides original compositions to complement the group’s offerings.
A three-year residency with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony included commissions for three new works including Elevation: Paradise and Free Souls.
In 2016, PBS premiered the Emmy-winning show “Time for Three in Concert,” an hour-long collaboration with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Universal Music Classics and WFYI Public Media, bringing together these diverse artists to create a one-of-a-kind concert experience.
