LISTEN TO "JOY" HERE

In a statement, Time For Three notes, '"Joy" is a song that we wrote to capture the often-unknown struggles behind something beautiful or meaningful. The three of us are all classically trained musicians so when we first started writing this song, our original inspiration of a protagonist was Beethoven, someone who has given the world so much joy yet had lived quite a difficult life. On a broader spectrum, it's a song about anyone who has given the gift of joy and has undergone the rollercoaster of emotions getting there."


Time for Three consists of founding members Nicolas Kendall (violin), Ranaan Meyer (double bass), and newest member Charles Yang who joined Kendall and Meyer in 2016 It's Yang, who the Boston Globe said, "plays classical violin with the charisma of a rock star" singing lead on "Joy," with Kendall and Meyer providing backing vocals. The track was written by all three members and recorded in Nashville with Grammy-winning producer Femke Weidema.

While Joy represents their first original recording with vocals, the band plans to create more vocally-fronted music in the coming months while they keep a busy touring schedule.

To date, Time For Three has performed shows throughout the world with multiple artists: from NYC's singer-songwriter epicenter Rockwood Music Hall to Carnegie Hall, from the BBC Proms to the Kennedy Center, Time for Three has successfully brought its music to hundreds of thousands of fans. Highlights included appearances with the iconic Boston Pops, a 10-year residency with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, orchestra dates in Hong Kong, Sydney and Melbourne, an appearance on ABC's Dancing with the Stars, and an Emmy award for their PBS self-titled special.
As an artist who loves to tell stories through video, their videos have been viewed tens of millions of times on YouTube. The band's eponymous debut spent seven consecutive weeks in the Top 10 of Billboard's Classical Chart.
