In a bustling musical city like Los Angeles, we do not work in a bubble. The musical community is very small and close-knit — especially the community of chamber music ensembles. We’d like to spend some time introducing you to some of our musical friends who we meet out on the performance trail. This week: […]
Music as a Business
I teach at an arts high school, and one of the classes offered to instrumental music juniors and seniors is called “Music as a Buisness.” That title is different from many other places — most schools just call it “Music Business.” But this makes a clear distinction. Music as a Business. When I was a […]
New York Women Composers!
Third Wheel is pleased to announce that we are 2010 recipients of a Seed Money Grant from New York Women Composers. In a wonderful cross-country connection, we will be able to perform a concert on the West Coast featuring the music of some of the East Coast’s most talented living composers. Who also happen to […]
More Time for Three
I know that I have already mentioned Third Wheel’s recent inspirational encounter with the string trio Time for Three, but honestly, I just can’t get their performance out of my head. So I wanted to share a little more with you. Check out this video here — it’s an amazing take on one of Third […]
Endless Summer
Third Wheel is back! On the blog, that is. We all had busy summers and were out there like the good little worker bees we are, performing all over Southern California. In addition to all the playing that we do together as Third Wheel, the three of us are usually involved in all kinds of […]

Live at the Lounge, Hermosa Beach
Third Wheel had an awesome opportunity this past weekend to play on the Classical Music LA series at Live at the Lounge. The venue is a small intimate 90-seat theater where dinner is served during the show, but the focus is on the musicians rather than the meal. Located adjacent to the Comedy and Magic […]

“Upstanding” ensembles
Third Wheel is proud to be a member of Chamber Music America, and we really enjoy taking advantage of all the great services they provide. So imagine my reaction when I received the latest issue of Chamber Music (CMA’s publication) and saw this featured as their cover story: “Trending Upward: Why ensembles are deciding to get […]
Swan latte
We recently had our Third Wheel business meeting, and this time chose Urth Caffe downtown as the location. No matter how much time I spend downtown, I am constantly amazed at the number of different undiscovered neighborhoods over there. This charming cafe was no different. On the way there, Karin was sort of giving me […]
