TAKE3 to perform with local Dover High School students
The trio TAKE3 is coming to the Performing Arts Center at Kent State Tuscarawas.
The trio TAKE3 will come to the Performing Arts Center at Kent State Tuscarawas on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 7:30 p.m. While in the area, the trio will visit local schools as part of the Performing Arts Center’s Educational Outreach initiative.
TAKE3 has a classical music background and infuses it with rock. Trained at the world’s top conservatories, TAKE3 has expanded its repertoire from Bach and Beethoven to Bieber and The Beach Boys. This threesome has arrangements of top pop hits, Americana and signature classical mashups.
In addition to extensive touring, the group has earned accolades for its outreach programs for children of all ages.
TAKE3 was created by violinist/vocalist Lindsay Deutsch, Yanni’s featured violin soloist, with whom she has toured throughout most of the seven continents. 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.
Members of the Dover High School Orchestra will join TAKE3 on stage during the Saturday evening concert to perform a collaborative piece.
“We are once again honored to have received an invitation from the Performing Arts Center to join TAKE3 on stage,” said David Rutter, Dover City School’s director of orchestras. “This could potentially be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our students, and we’re thrilled to be given the opportunity.”
The Performing Arts Center also is continuing its tradition of connecting local students with internationally recognized artists. While in the area, TAKE3 will visit four local schools for in-school assemblies.
“Over the years I’ve been able to see the impact these school visits can have on our area students,” said David Mitchell, general manager of the Performing Arts Center. “Thanks to individual and corporate donations to our Education Fund, we are able to continue this outreach into our ninth year now.”
Support for the educational workshop and outreach was received from the Dover Eagles 515, Dr. Daniel and Mary Miller, the Hugh A. Fraser Fund, Dover Exchange Club, and from individual contributions to the Performing Arts Center’s Education Fund.
