Monday YouTube Fix: Time for Three
Andrew Hitz
Time for Three is one of the most original and unique sounding chamber ensembles playing today and I am very lucky to call them dear friends. They are an inspiration to many of us for both their musical and entrepreneurial contributions to the field of music. Leonard Cohen is one of the greatest American songwriters to ever live. This is a hauntingly beautiful rendition of his iconic 'Hallelujah.' When the music breathes, it breathes in perfect unison. If you close your eyes and get lost in the music it is easy to forget that this is not one person making these sounds - it is that together.
Watching their communication is a master class on chamber music. When people say there's no money in music I point to Time for Three. Create a program that's this unique, this good, and approached with the same entrepreneurial spirit and you will make money every time.
Enjoy!
