ISB 2023 Convention Presenter — Ranaan Meyer

Bonded by an uncommon blend of instruments and vocals, Charles Yang (violin), Nick Kendall (violin), and Ranaan Meyer (double bass) have found a unique voice of expression as Time for Three. To experience Time For Three live is to hear the various eras, styles, and traditions of Western music fold in on themselves and emerge anew. The members of Time for Three are renowned for their charismatic and energetic performances in venues that include Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center and The Royal Albert Hall, and have earned praise from NPR, NBC and The Wall Street Journal. In 2020, the band partnered with cellist and composer Ben Sollee to put together the soundtrack to Focus Features’s film Land, starring and directed by Robin Wright. They’ve also appeared on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars, and won an Emmy for Time For Three In Concert, produced by PBS. Time for Three has collaborated with artists as diverse as Ben Folds, Branford Marsalis and Joshua Bell, and has premiered original works by composers Chris Brubeck and Pulitzer Prize-winners Jennifer Higdon and William Bolcom. Their most recent commission by Pulitzer Prize-winner Kevin Puts, Contact, premiered with the San Francisco Symphony and the Philadelphia Orchestra in 2022. This concerto is featured along with Jennifer Higdon’s Concerto 4-3 on Time for Three’s 2022 album for Deutsche Grammophon, Letters for the Future, which won a Grammy in 2023 for Best Classical Instrumental Solo.
