From ROCK to BACH – TAKE3 Trio, Classical Flair w/Rock-Star Charisma!

TAKE3 has a “flair for the wild and unexpected” and “brings the refinement of a
rigorous classical music background and infuses it with rock-star charisma.”

Returning by popular demand after multiple standing ovations from their Lincoln Hall Audience – the genre-smashing, virtuosic-crossover trio with a flair for the wild and unexpected – TAKE3 Trio – brings world class artistry, blazing virtuosity and tender sensitivity to Lincoln Hall on Sunday, November 10 at 2 PM.  

Combining the refinement of their rigorous classical music backgrounds infused with rock-star charisma – these cross-over classically trained musicians led by the fabulous violinist Lindsay Deutsch will electric and entertain with their arrangements of “Where ROCK meets BACH.” 

ARCA is grateful for the very generous sponsorship of TAKE3 Trio’s concert by the founder of the Red Brick Gallery, RBG Cooperative Artist and devoted ARCA supporters, Donna and Larry Edmonds.

Born out of the practice rooms of the top conservatories, TAKE3 lives at the intersection where pop, rock and classical fusion collide. TAKE3 has expanded their repertoire from Bach and Beethoven to Leonard Cohen, Bieber, Elvis and The Beach Boys.

This dynamic and charismatic threesome leaves their indelible mark on captivated crowds around the country performing their top pop hits, Oldies, Americana, and their signature classical mashups – and everything in between including classical favorites.

From “Unchained Melody”, “Amazing Grace”, “What a Wonderful World”, Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” and Willie’s Nelson’s “On the Road Again” to Game of Thrones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Beethoven, West Side Story and Orange Blossom Special, TAKE3 conveys an empowering message of joy and connection through music in their high-energy performances.

TAKE3 is nothing short of exhilarating and has electrified audiences at venues and performing arts centers throughout the U.S. Their unmistakable style and infectious joy in music making brings them to over 60 stops in the U.S. during the 23/24 season.

In response to their SOLD OUT Lincoln Hall concert in October of 2022, ARCA’s program director wrote:

“Superlatives seem inadequate to describe TAKE3 trio’s performance for Allegheny RiverStone Center for the Arts.  Words used by the multiple-standing-ovation audience as they were leaving to describe the experience were ‘Magnificent – Amazing artists – What showmanship – Awesome – You HAVE to have them back…’  TAKE3 had us in the palm of their hands from Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” that brought tears to the eyes of many in the audience. A Night to be Remembered!”

Concert tickets are $25 for Adults, $20 for ARCA Members and $5 for Students.   Buy online here or call to reserve:  724-659-3153 Cash or check at the door.

After the concert, enjoy a Meet the Artist Reception at the Red Brick Gallery from 4 to 6 PM for the opening of the exhibit of the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts Weavers Studio.
