—a conversation with Mike Telin

Time for Three premiered Christ Brubeck’s new concerto for two violins, double bass and orchestra with Randall Craig Fleischer and the Youngstown Symphony on March 20. We spoke with the trio by conference call at a radio station in Harrisburg, PA to talk about Time for Three and the new concerto.

Nick: Hi Mike, this is Nick Kendall, one of the violinists.

MT: Yes, we met a couple of weeks ago right after your Oberlin concert.

NK: Yea, that’s right. We have the other guys here as well.

Ranaan Meyer: Hello this is Ranaan, nice to meet you.

MT: Nice to meet you too

Zach De Pue: hello it’s Zach

MT: Hello.

ZDP: You know I lived in Cleveland for a year, and I still have my Browns season tickets.

MT: Do you?

ZDP: Yes I do

MT: Wow you are one of the few who has bothered to keep them.
