HATBORO-HORSHAM EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION TIME FOR THREE Location: Hatboro-Horsham High School, 899 Horsham Road, Horsham 19044. Time: 8:00 pm. Tickets: $15; $20 preferred seating; $10 seniors; Free for students. After packing the house in 2006, Time for Three strings trio returns April 5th
The trio will perform at 8 p.m. April 5 at Hatboro-Horsham High School, 899 Horsham Road, Horsham, as part of the Hatboro-Horsham Educational Foundation's Cultural Events Series. Time for Three's popularity continues to spread nationally, with some 150 performances annually. What began as a group of young musicians playing together for fun, evolved into the charismatic and enthusiastic trio that knows no boundaries and defies musical classification. "It's a play off of the American roots music - Appalachian, bluegrass, gypsy influences and jazz. It's all within the umbrella of classical music sound," said group member Nicholas Kendall. "It's something that only can be experienced in person." The ensemble recently appeared at the 92nd Street Y in New York, the Kennedy Center's Terrace Theater and Millenium Stage, the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, the Gardner Museum in Boston, the Brooklyn Friends of Music Chamber Series and the Cerritos Center for the Arts in California. The ensemble has recorded two CDs - a third is due this spring - written a soundtrack for the movie "The Spanish-American War" on cable television's History Channel, and this winter debuted a new work premiered by the Philadelphia Orchestra. The talented trio - Zachary DePue, violin; Kendall, violin, and Ranaan Meyer, double bass - met while students at Philadelphia's Curtis Institute of Music. "It was kind of a meeting of like minds," recalled Kendall. "When anyone studying classical music does any experimentation or improvisation, it really stands out. That definitely was the case with Ranaan, Zach and myself. We found each other. Whenever we got the chance, we would - excuse the pun - fiddle around together." Though only in their 20s, the threesome has performed with many of the world's preeminent conductors and orchestras. And they've won over critics along the way. Time for Three will also be meeting with Hatboro-Horsham School District students. Such school and community outreach programs are, according to the group, a "central part" of their mission. To order tickets, visit HHEF's Web site, www.hhef.org or call 215-420-5261. For additional information about the group, see www.tf3.com. |

From 6 to 9 p.m. on the first Friday of every month - rain or shine - downtown Hatboro will come alive with activity, as stores, restaurants and service providers host live music, art and cultural events, all free to the public.
Among the activities for the inaugural event will be an appearance of B101 Radio personality Lorraine Ranalli from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Hatboro Baptist Church Annex, 50 N. York Road. Ranalli is the narrator and host of two videos now in production, the "History of Hatboro" and the "Upper Moreland vs. Hatboro-Horsham Football Story," a look at the 75-year-old Thanksgiving Day rivalry. Trailers from both will be shown at the Annex between 6 and 9 p.m. by Arrival Video Productions, which is producing the films.
They packed the house when they performed in Horsham two years ago and since that time, Time for Three, a charismatic trio of young strings players whose music defies classification, has wowed audiences from Philadelphia to California.
