Hi everyone, Time for Three wants to thank you for helping make 2010 a great year for us. Between our wonderful Happy Hour series as part of our residency with ISO, our performance schedule that took us all over the country, our collaboration with Chris Brubeck on his composition Travels in Time for Three, the several outreach programs Tf3 is involved in, and so much more, we’ve kept very busy. We hope you’ll continue to follow and support Tf3’s endeavors in 2011 as we continue to work hard to make classically-grounded music that is fun and accessible to everyone. Our desire to expand listeners’ musical experiences is a major influence behind the music we make. Way back at the beginning of the year, we released Three Fervent Travelers on E1, and we were amazed at the response. It debuted in the top 10 on Billboard, Amazon and iTunes, and remained in the top 10 on the Billboard Crossover Charts for more than 10 months! That was a great way to kick off our year, and the busy schedule of touring that was to come. One of the highlights of 2010 was working and performing with all of the fantastic orchestras across the country. In March we premiered Travels in Time for Three by Chris Brubeck (a wonderful composer and son of jazz legend Dave Brubeck) with the Youngstown Symphony in Ohio. The reception was wonderful. Over the summer we performed the piece with the Boston Pops and again in November with the Portland Symphony Orchestra in Portland, Maine. We have also been enjoying ourselves in Indianapolis with our residency with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. One of the best parts has been the “Happy Hour” series that we curate, which lets us get creative in presenting an evening of music like no other! We’re so grateful to the ISO and our sponsor, Stella Artois, for this wonderful opportunity, and we’re totally overwhelmed by the response the series has received so far. We feel lucky to be able to make our livings by creating and performing music and doing something that we truly love. We are grateful to the large community of supporters out there who make that possible, and as our way of showing our appreciation, the members of Time for Three feel it is our responsibility to give back. That is why a large part of our energy is channeled into various charity and non-profit projects. Early in 2010, we participated in a benefit performance that helped raise more than $8 million for Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, which is a summer camp for children and their families coping with cancer and other serious illnesses and conditions. Ranaan has also dedicated a lot of his energy to another camp, the Wabass Institute for the 21  st Century Bass Player.

Now in its third year, the camp offers free tuition to aspiring bass players who otherwise might not receive an opportunity to work with professional musicians to develop their skills. It is an extension of Ranaan’s commitment to sharing his love of music with the new generation of musicians who are just discovering their potential. Additionally, 2010 saw Time for Three performing in dozens of grade schools, highschools, hospitals and nursing homes across the country, because we want to reach out and inspire people with our music. We believe music has the ability to bring people together in a powerful way. When you come out to one of our shows, or purchase our album or recommend our music to your friends, you are contributing to making all of this possible. So, thank you! We hope you will continue to support the music of Time for Three and our various endeavors as the new year goes along. We expect to have some exciting news for you soon regarding album plans, tours, and much more.
