On Friday's show: Three officers are being sued for conducting a no-knock, warrantless entry of a Houston man's home in the middle of the night and holding him and his wife at gunpoint. The lawsuit alleges three Harris County Precinct 2 constables violated a Houston man's Fourth Amendment rights. Also this hour: From Food Not Bombs Houston suing the city, to Taylor Swift political conspiracy theories, our panel of non-experts weighs in on The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week. Then, classical crossover trio Time for Three talks with our Joshua Zinn ahead of a Houston performance on Feb. 9. And we learn why some Houstonians have been driven to seek medical care outside the country.

In business, marketing strategies often revolve around defining your ideal customer. What specific interests and demographics do they represent? The more specific you are in your targeting, the better. But Time for Three proves just how wrong that approach to building an audience can be. Performing their unique blend of Americana, modern pop, and classical music, the acclaimed string trio has grown a large fan base that defies demographics — people who are just as likely to listen to Brahms as bluegrass and the Beatles. And now the members of Time for Three — violinists Charles Yang and Nick Kendall and bassist Ranaan Meyer — are celebrating their latest achievement: a Grammy Award for Letters for the Future, the Deutsche Grammophon album they recorded last year with the Philadelphia Orchestra. For Yang, the nominations carry a comforting sense of validation. "As a group as eclectic, and unique, and weird as we are, we've had to swim upstream at times in this industry. So this was a nice way of saying, finally: What we're doing is right, and we went with our heart." In this episode of the Classical Post podcast, the members of Time for Three and I talk more about the album and the Olympic training mindset that helped them thrive while recording Letters for the Future in Philly. Plus, they share how therapy sessions can often serve as creative sessions and their picks for the best Thai and Japanese food in Manhattan.

Ep. 122 - How many chamber ensembles do you know that has two violinists and a double bassist? Oh, and did we mention that they can all sing as well? Time for Three (Charles Yang, Raanan Meyer and Nick Kendall) are truly making their mark as a “one of a kind” string trio, finding fresh and creative ways to intersect classical music with genres such as Americana and Modern Pop. Achieving what no one else has done within the classical music realm, their dazzling virtuosity and infectious joy has led to international acclaim and performances with top orchestras such as The Philadelphia Orchestra, appearances on NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts, and the creation of their new album "Letters for the Future", released by Deutsche Grammophon. We talk about their experience working on “Letters for the Future”, trusting the process of building a brand, and why singing improves your musicianship. - Directly support us through Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FakingNotesPodcast Hang on Discord: https://discord.gg/ZVmA4xMcfu - Links to more Faking Notes: https://linktr.ee/FakingNotesPodcast ~rate us 5 stars for a letter from the future, or email… whatever you prefer~

Time for Three — Letters for the Future (DG) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - Time for Three by “This is Kevin Puts; he's our new member, our composer in residence — ‘Time for Four.'” The members of the string trio Time for Three — violinists Nick Kendall and Charles Yang, and bassist Ranaan Meyer — are talking about Puts and his involvement on their latest album, Letters for the Future, which also includes music by composer Jennifer Higdon. Meyer: “We've been on this journey for a while. When we started out, we were this band that was discovering a common ground with classical music. We had this desire and inquisitive nature of wanting to explore all different genres. “Now fast-forward to today, and we're here to talk about our recording with the Philadelphia Orchestra, which features Jennifer Higdon's work that was also the very first concerto that was ever written for us back in 2008. Here is an exclusive performance for YourClassical MPR of the Cadenza from Higdon's Concerto 4-3: Watch now “We're also super excited about our latest concerto, Contact, by Kevin Puts. In addition to being a sensational composer and writing gorgeous music that is incredibly storytelling in nature, he is like-minded to our group, which pushes us forward on our instruments.” How is this album a homecoming for the group? Kendall: “When Ranaan and I attended the Curtis Institute of Music in the late ‘90s, Mark O'Connor, Edgar Meyer and Yo-Yo Ma released Appalachian Waltz, which blew our minds. At that time, it also seemed natural for Time for Three to do the same. We had this incredible opportunity with the Philadelphia Orchestra with help from maestro Christoph Eschenbach. “Eschenbach saw this energy from us and thought if he could put these virtuoso musicians in the hands of a master composer, who would that be? We had a meeting with him, and both of our lists had Jennifer Higdon, who was a teacher at Curtis. That is the story behind Concerto 4-3.” Can you talk about the creativity behind Contact? Puts: “I thought it was an interesting idea to start with nothing but a three-voice chorale and then gradually elaborate on that. As far as there being a message, I didn't really think of it that way until later. We realized what we were working on a piece about all the different forms of contact.” Here's an exclusive performance of Puts' Gankino Horo, which is not featured on the album: Watch now To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Time for Three, a trio featuring two violins and double bass, defies easy categories. They're classically trained musicians who are as comfortable singing three-part harmony as they are shredding on commissioned works by award-winning contemporary composers. As individuals, they were shaped by early influences ranging from Brahms and Mussorgsky to Stevie Ray Vaughn. Time for Three will be performing at Hopewell Theater in Hopewell, NJ on October 1, 2021.

Muziek bij de film Land, van cellist en componist Ben Sollee. Land is een film van Robin Wright, die zelf ook de hoofdrol speelt - we kennen haar van de televisie-serie House of Cards), over Edee, een vrouw die op zoek gaat naar de zin van haar leven, en dat doet ze in de uitgestrekte wildernis van Wyoming, in de Verenigde Staten, in de Rocky Mountains die weliswaar prachtig natuurschoon te bieden hebben, maar waar het bepaald niet eenvoudig is in je eentje te overleven. De film is gebaseerd op een verhaal van Jesse Chatham en Erin Dignam. En ging in première op 31 januari op het Sundance Film Festival. De muziek voor deze film werd gemaakt door Ben Sollee. Ben Sollee is een cellist en in toenemende mate ook componist, hij woont in Kentucky in de VS, en hij is behalve musicus ook heel actief in de milieubeweging en natuurbescherming in de VS - zo doet hij waar het maar enigszins mogelijk is zijn concertournees op de fiets, cello in een koffer vastgemaakt aan zijn stalen ros… Kijk, zo maak je wel een statement natuurlijk! Dat componeren voor film en televisie is iets wat Ben Sollee de laatste jaren steeds meer is gaan doen, hij won er in 2018 al een Emmy Award mee, dat was voor de muziek voor een televisiedocumentaire over dans, Base Ballet. Voor de muziek die hij maakte voor de film Land heeft hij een strijktrio erbij gehaald, Time For Three, en dat trio komt op verschillende momenten in de muziek fraai in actie. Zoals bijvoorbeeld als de hut waarin Edee, de hoofdpersoon, zich schuilhoudt, wordt aangevallen door een grizzly-beer. ‘Voor die scene heb ik wel 5 verschillende stukken muziek geschreven' vertelde Ben Sollee in een interview, ‘maar het een na het ander bleek gewoon niet goed te werken bij de beelden. Maar dat hoort volgens hem ook gewoon bij het proces van het maken van een film met de bijbehorende muziek. De film vertelt je wat er nodig is, en het is altijd een kwestie van innige samenwerking met de regisseur, de acteurs, de ontwerpers, de editors en iedereen die er bij hoort. Het componeren van de muziek is binnen dat geheel één van de vele elemenenten. Typerend voor de muziek van Ben Sollee is de mix van klassieke elementen met Americana, Appalachian folk-muziek, country-achtige dingen en zelfs af en toe melodieën die aan Azië en het vere oosten doen denken. Spijtig genoeg is zijn werk het laatste half jaar flink gehinderd door een corona-besmetting, maar inmiddels gaat het gelukkig alweer een stuk beter met hem. De Amerikaanse publieke omroep heeft Ben Sollee al een jaar of 10 geleden uitgeroepen tot veelbelovende jonge musicus om in de gaten te houden, en intussen schrijven muziekbladen alom lovend over hem: het is echt bijzonder om muziek te horen die tegelijk heel eenvoudig klinkt toch zo suggestief is, zo spaarzaam van opzet en tegelijkertijd zo vol energie en inspiratie. 1.

This week we are in conversation with the members of the genre defying ensemble and "classically trained garage band" Time For Three. Our host and artistic director Clemmie Burton-Hill talked to them earlier this year after being "in awe" of their interpretation and performance of J.S. Bach's Chaconne, Partita No.2 at a private Soiree at Joshua Bell's New York home. Here, Ranaan Meyer, Charles Yang, Nick Kendall, talk about improvisation, connection with the audiences, taking the freedom of moving between genres and playing hungover. And then they play that piece, their desert island companion: Bach's Chaconne – or their take on it. You can also watch their performance as part of WQXR's "Offstage" series here.

TEM124: Ranaan Meyer of Time For Three on advice for young musicians, seizing opportunities and why you have to dream big (TEM Rewind) Ranaan Meyer is a bass player and founding member of Time for Three, one of the busiest chamber ensembles in the world. TEM Rewind is a new format that will appear sporadically throughout 2018. Some of my favorite interviews were in the very early days of TEM, before many of you were following the show. This conversation with Ranaan is from the very first episode way back in 2015 and is absolute gold. What You'll Learn: Why all it took was one band member who really believed in the band and was willing to bankroll it to get them on the road to success How from day one they refused to play background music and never performed for anything less than $1500 How even as college students Time for Three was very serious and methodical about who they networked with and how Why once you get people to take ownership of your product they then do the selling for you Why you need to be set up correctly and know the right questions to ask before you potentially waste a lot of time and money showcasing at something like APAP The difference between booking yourself through the commercial market versus the presenting arts market The three words that Ranaan writes in bold at the top of every To Do list he ever makes How a power outage before a Philadelphia Orchestra concert led to Ranaan wowing 5,000 audience members and the entire Philly Orchestra before Time for Three was even a thing The importance of dreaming big because it just might happen if you do Why it's imperative to try get to a place in your career where you can delegate some tasks Links: APAP Le Poussin Rouge Zach De Pue Playing Bach Next to an Airplane Show notes for all episodes of TEM including topics discussed, links to all books and websites referenced can be found at: http://www.andrewhitz.com/shownotes 1.

Time for Three is made up of Violinists Nick Kendall and Nikki Chooi and Double Bassist Ranaan Meyer, and can probably be best described as a “classically trained garage band”. With an exciting mix of originals, covers and classical music with a capital 'T' “Twist”, these guys have electrified audiences around the world and were recently featured on a PBS special performing with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. We're starting a special series of episodes that focus on entrepreneurial musicians who think way outside the box. I'm so excited to have Time for Three on the show to help me kick this off. I recently met up with Nick, Nikki, and Ranaan after one of their jam session rehearsals at The Curtis Institute of Music. Nikki Chooi, by the way, is the newest addition to Time for Three, having replaced co-founder Zach DePue, who is currently the concertmaster of the Indianapolis Symphony.

In today's full show, all of the news, and a quick salute to my friend Zach DePue of Time For Three. And Woodsy The Owl and the New Zoo Revue. I promise, Abdul and I are straight edge when doing the show.
Nicest guys in the biz, perhaps. If you haven't seen Time For Three yet, WTH? Go see them - Thursday (Nov 19) at Hilbert Circle Theatre with the ISO or anywhere they may be on tour. Seriously. And Maestro Urbanski, I will ask about the hair next time!
Ranaan Meyer is the bass player for Time For Three, a teacher, and the founder of the Time For Three Foundation. What You'll Learn: How Time for Three started almost by accident and how the got (more like created) their big break The business model Time for Three uses that continues to see them thrive What's next for the group The advice Ranaan has for young musicians trying to make a name for themselves in the business today The importance of having a strong support network (Ranaan leans on his heavily) The three words that are written in block leaders daily at the top of his To-Do list How he and his colleague Zach DePue took advantage of a power outage while playing with the Philadelphia Orchestra and proceeded to wow the crowd, amaze the rest of the orchestra and how it helped propel them to stardom The nonprofit he runs and his other entrepreneurial ventures he runs including two bass camps and his career as a soloist Show notes for all episodes of TEM including topics discussed, links to all books and websites referenced can be found at: http://www.andrewhitz.com/shownotes Want to help "keep the lights on" and make future episodes of TEM possible?

Within the last month, the string trio Time for Three has had the unusual distinction of being covered by the Today Show, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, The Strad and yes, WQXR. The reason? Violinists Zachary De Pue and Nicolas Kendall were told they couldn’t take their violins inside the cabin on a US Airways flight from North Carolina to Arkansas. It was at that point that De Pue began playing J.S. Bach's Partita No. 3 on the tarmac while Kendall, recording the incident on his phone, shows the pair being ignored by various US Airways personnel. The musicians’ video of the incident was posted on YouTube, which quickly set off a social media storm. (US Airways later described it as a misunderstanding of carry-on rules between its employees and the musicians.) Even as Time For Three came on a wider public's radar (and its Facebook feeds) with the incident, the trio has been active for over a decade, appearing everywhere from symphony halls to jazz clubs to football games and even the Indianapolis 500 auto race. The musicians first met and began jamming together in 1999 while classmates at the Curtis Institute of Music. They got their first formal gig in 2001 and soon the sideline became a more serious pursuit. “Our common ground is classical music and each one of us brought a different genre to the table,” Double bassist Ranaan Meyer said in an interview with WQXR host Naomi Lewin. Kendall’s interests included gypsy jazz, hip-hop and R&B; De Pue specialized in Texas fiddling and folk music; Meyer played jazz. “What was really unique was we were able to teach each other some of the influences from those other genres, respectively. In the WQXR Café, the group played two selections for their new, self-titled album on Universal Classics, starting with "Roundabouts," an intimate piece by Kendall that features a round structure. Since 2009, Time for Three has been in residency with the Indianapolis Symphony, where De Pue is the concertmaster. The trio's next song, “Banjo Love,” by Meyer, gives a hint of the American fiddling tradition that has become a part of its musical DNA. It also pays homage to the noted banjo player Béla Fleck, who is a musical hero of the group. The trio’s final song in the café is a cover version of Coldplay’s "UFO." While it attests to the strong pop influences on Time for Three, the musicians are quick to call attention to their classical credits. Along with appearing at Carnegie Hall and other major venues, they have commissioned high-profile composers including Jennifer Higdon, William Bolcom and Chris Brubeck to write works for the group and are currently developing a new piece with the Portland, OR-based composer Kenji Bunch. “When people ask us what we are we have no idea,” noted Meyer, laughing. “We're a marketing nightmare for most record companies. The fact that we're actually signed with Universal is a major pat on the back for us. When we're getting together, frankly it's not a purist thing."

MADISON VIOLET are a Toronto based duo, consisting of Lisa MacIsaac (vocals, guitar, fiddle, mandolin) and Brenley MacEachern (vocals, guitar, banjo, harmonica). Together, they've been touring the globe non-stop for 9 years. The duo has just released their 3rd album No Fool For Trying. It�s been described as a cross between a rootsy Gillian Welch, gritty Steve Earle and bluegrassy Alison Krauss, loaded with harmonies, lots of stringed instruments and beautiful lyrics. The band also just won Vocal Group of the Year' at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. TIME FOR THREE is a groundbreaking, category-shattering roots music trio. What started as a trio of musicians who played together for fun while students at Philadelphia's Curtis Institute for Music evolved into Time for Three, or Tf3 for short. Tf3 has performed on many of the nation's impressive stages, including the Mann Music Center in Philadelphia, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and Joe's Pub in New York. They have performed their own original works with over 60 orchestras. The group recorded will release its third CD, "3 Fervent Travelers."
