WS639: Time For Three and Tangletown Trio




The Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour Podcast show

Summary: TIME FOR THREE returns to the WoodSongs stage with their groundbreaking, category-shattering music that rises beyond traditional classification, with elements of classical, country western, gypsy and jazz idioms forming a blend all its own. This young, dynamic trio of classically trained string musicians transcends traditional performance genres. In concert, a bluegrass standard like Orange Blossom Special may be followed by a gypsy-tinged Csardas. The band is equally comfortable offering their own arrangements of shorter classical works and popular hits, whether Brahms or the Beatles. They have begun a major commissioning program to expand their unique repertoire for both symphony orchestras. TANGLETOWN TRIO is an innovative new music group with classical and opera backgrounds. They celebrate new music and new composers with passionate elegance. The trio includes mezzo-soprano and composer Sarah Mattox, master violinist Jo Nardolillo, and pianist Judith Cohen, who is an official Steinway artist. All three of these very accomplished musicians are masters of their respective instrument and are considered some of the finest artists in the country. The TangleTown Trio has a mission to perform beautiful, powerful, evocative living music with a vibrant energy that claims the audience as a vital, active participant. Their brand new CD is called "Song Nouveau."
