Time for Three Takes Orchestra Residency
For the first time in its 79-year history, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra has elected an ensemble-in-residence rather than an artist or composer. Time for Three—the genre-blending group made up of violinists Zach De Pue and Nick Kendall, and double-bassist Ranaan Meyer—will take on the position for three years. The orchestra hopes the group will attract a wider audience and take part in a student mentorship program. isotf3.org |
