Time 4 Three



Time For Three (Tf3) was one of the featured groups performing with the Chicago Symphony in the concert I attended at Ravinia. Tf3 is a musical trio consisting of Violinists Zachary De Pue and Nicolas Kendall and bassist Ranaan Meyer. Their music has elements of classical, country/Western, gypsy and jazz. I was familiar with Zach having seen him at work as concertmaster of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. This was my first time hearing him play with the trio. At the Ravinia concert they performed Concerto 4-3 with the orchestra, a piece written especially for them by Jennifer Higdon. She was also in attendance which was a nice surpise. The concert was conducted by Christoph Eschenbach. To hear more music by Tf3, check out their myspace page.
