    Find Joy in Your Career ft. Time for Three

    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~
