“…Hypnotic…amazing…instantly captured the audience…”

Give the gift of music, shared with those you love – with TAKE3’s glorious Christmas concert, perfect for families and music lovers of all ages.   In a combined program of inspirational and moving popular Christmas favorites and their distinctive, entertaining mash-ups of cross-over pop music, the genre-smashing, virtuosic-crossover trio TAKE3 returns to Lincoln Hall by enthusiastic popular acclaim on Sunday, December 17, at 2:00 PM  – with the refinement of classical music combined with a flair for the wild and unexpected described as “Where ROCK meets BACH”!

Having been Yanni’s featured violin soloist and toured most of the 7 continents, Lindsay Deutsch and fellow artists are destined for international fame in the world of cross-over entertainment. According to the Los Angeles Times, they “…grabbed that light with a bold, aggressive tone and a body language that speaks loud and clear to audiences raised on rock videos.”  They will bring the refinement of their rigorous classical music backgrounds infused with rock-star charisma to bring Lincoln Hall’s audience a joyous and moving program of Christmas classics from their popular Christmas CD.

ARCA is grateful for the very generous donation of Red Brick Gallery founder Donna and Larry Edmonds, who have sponsored the return of the TAKE3 Trio to Lincoln Hall. 

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 to describe the experience were ‘Magnificent – Consummate artistry – Moving – Dazzling Virtuosity – Joyous showmanship – Simply Awesome…’ 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!”

Standing ovation from the Lincoln Hall audience for the dazzling TAKE 3

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!

With her limitless enthusiasm and vast gifts as a performer and entertainer, American violinist, LINDSAY DEUTSCH, is a charismatic and captivating presence on today’s music scene. She has thrilled audiences world-wide with her passion for music and brilliant display of technique and musicianship.

TAKE3 was created by violinist/vocalist, Lindsay Deutsch, Yanni’s featured violin soloist, with whom she has toured throughout most of the 7 continents.

Ms. Deutsch began her career as a classical soloist, performing concerti with symphony orchestras around the country. Her performance of Astor Piazzolla’s “Four Seasons of Buenos Aires” with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra conducted by Jeffrey Kahane, was selected for NPR’s Symphony Cast Program.

Maestro Jung-Ho Pak, conductor and artistic director of the Cape Symphony Orchestra, says of Lindsay, “A conductor dreams about finding a soloist who understands the essential responsibility of helping change a large community’s view of classical music. In a time when every concert has to be unforgettable and a game changer, Lindsay can make that happen every time.”
