We’re known for composing and performing new classical music that audiences love.

We are a unique partnership of composers, performers, and listeners from around the world who share the goal of presenting new music that is immediately accessible. Audience-friendly music appeals to the emotions. It does not need an explanation to be appreciated.

Our member composers and performers create rhythms you want to dance to, melodies you want to sing along with, and harmonies that create chills through your body as you listen to them. It’s new music of feeling.  We’re proud to explore the limitless subtleties of human emotions.

Our composers and performers have worked in film and TV; ballet and modern dance; operas; musicals; cabarets. We’ve presented in concert halls, churches, schools, civic buildings, convention centers, hotels, libraries, historic mansions, and private homes. And, our members have presented in Europe, China, Russia and the USA.

 
 

We’ll be straight with you: We don’t believe the world needs any more “heady music.”

We don’t need more music that leaves listeners scratching their heads and wondering what they are supposed to think. While intellectual music has its place, music that is only appealing to the mind is not what we support.

To be perfectly clear: Sharing new music that leaves the audience wanting more is our goal!

What we really need is… new music that approaches the sublime.

More specifically: Music concerts that express your passion for new and exciting, heartfelt classical music; music that raises listeners up, out of the ordinary, to a new emotional awareness of higher states of being.

I always loved the classics. ThrEE helped me see that new classical music can be just as moving and speak to me just as much or maybe even more than the classics I grew up with. I’m thrilled to help share music that touches listeners’ hearts.
