Experience and share the gift of the TAKE3 CHRISTMAS concert – joyous holiday music and entertainment for families and music lovers of all ages and generations…
As the TAKE3 Trio’s rock-star charisma, world class artistry and blazing virtuosity inspire and uplift in a combination program of popular Christmas favorites & entertaining crossover pop music, “Where ROCK meets BACH.”
With a flair for the wild and unexpected, the high energy and genre-smashing TAKE3 Trio is back by popular demand on Sunday, December 7 at 2:00 PM to dazzle ARCA’s Lincoln Hall audience in storybook, holiday-glittering Foxburg.
This unique trio of violin, cello, and piano brings together the power and energy of rock music with the sophistication and beauty of classical Bach. Experience a fusion of styles that will leave you breathless and wanting more.
Equally sensitive in moments of tender musical beauty, their arrangements of Leonard Cohen’s “Alleluia” and “Amazing Grace” will be emotionally moving.
TAKE3 thrives at the intersection where art and pop culture collide. Trained at the world’s top conservatories, TAKE3 has expanded their repertoire from Bach and Beethoven to John Williams, Leonard Cohen, Bieber and The Beach Boys – and Willie Nelson, Beyonce, Abba and Elvis!
Having been Yanni’s featured violin soloist and toured most of the 7 continents, Lindsay Deutsch and fellow artists will bring ARCA’s holiday audience the refinement of their rigorous classical music backgrounds infused with rock star-power in a program of Christmas classics from their popular Christmas CD.
From “O Holy Night”, “Ave Maria” and “Silent Night” to a “Nutcracker Medley”, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” in their Christmas portion of the program – PLUS “Unchained Melody”, “Amazing Grace”, “What a Wonderful World”, and their exquisite arrangement of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” and Orange Blossom Special, it’s going to be an unforgettable afternoon of entertainment and holiday cheer!
The trio is nothing short of exhilarating, described as a mini–Trans Siberian Orchestra experience, performing across the US and abroad in performing arts centers, symphony halls and venues with over 50 concerts in the 25/26 season.
TAKE3 dazzles audiences with their unmistakable style and infectious joy, performing top Pop hits, Oldies, Americana, and their signature classical mashups. And their reviews are as spectacular as they are!

In response to their SOLD OUT Lincoln Hall concert, ARCA’s program director wrote:”Superlatives seem inadequate to describe TAKE3 trio’s performance. After multiple-standing-ovations, audience comments were wildly enthusiastic 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. Truly a night to be remembered!”
