Simply Three is leading a movement to bring strings to the front of the stage, and once you see their inspiring talk mixed with live performance, you'll want to join them too!

Blending innovative arrangements of classical music with today's popular songs, Simply Three offers a fresh approach and an entertaining experience for all ages. Comprised of violinist Alex Weill, cellist Zack Clark and bassist Nicholas Villalobos, Simply Three came together in 2010. They released their first self-published album in 2011 and have earned critical and popular acclaim across the US. They've been hailed by the Boston Philharmonic: "They've got what it takes." Simply Three is creating a renewed excitement for instrumental music. Their programming includes a variety of invigorating arrangements of popular songs by Adele, Coldplay, Gotye, to name a few, as well as operatic favorites, virtuoso fiddle music and original compositions. Each member of the trio is personally dedicated to enhancing the classical music experience and educating the next generation of musicians.
