In a shabby industrial looking room, three men hold their stringed instruments.

Time For Three 

To experience Time For Three (TF3) live is to hear the various eras, styles, and traditions of Western music – Americana, pop, classical, and more – fold in on themselves and emerge anew. Time For Three—Charles Yang (violin, vocals), Nicolas “Nick” Kendall (violin, vocals), and Ranaan Meyer (double bass, vocals)—have found a unique and captivating niche.  

The Sydney Morning Herald praised their “brilliant classical technique, stylistic eclecticism, improvisatory flair, and imaginative wildness to produce performances of energy, humour, and fun.”  Whether they’re performing contemporary music, jazz, classical, or pop covers, Time For Three will dazzle you!

Arturo Sandoval and Pedrito Martinez 

Two generations of brilliant Cuban musicians come together when Arturo Sandoval and Pedrito Martinez share a double bill at Berklee Performance Center! Trumpeter Arturo Sandoval is an undisputed legend: a protégé of Dizzy Gillespie, who helped him defect from Cuba, he helped redefine the sound of Cuban jazz as a founding member of Irakere. Percussionist Pedrito Martinez, born in Havana, grew up surrounded by rumba music, and became a specialist in rumba and Afro-Cuban percussion, bringing his folkloric music to partnerships with musicians from around the world.
