Nu Deco Ensemble & Time For Three to Premiere 'Joy'

Nu Deco Ensemble, the innovative hybrid orchestra that ushers classical music into the 21st century, and Time for Three, an exciting string trio that stands at the intersection of Americana, modern pop, and classical music, have announced the release of their live collaborative performance video of "Joy." The captivating performance was originally filmed in December 2017 at The Light Box in NDE's hometown of Miami, FL as part of a set list that featured works by Paul Dooley, Kevin Puts, and Guillaume Connesson - along with the debut of their Daft Punk Suite "Humans vs. Robots." Watch the Facebook live premiere of "Joy" via The Violin Channel tomorrow, June 20th at 6:00PM ET HERE.

"Collaborating with Time for Three was such a sensational moment for us. Their artistry has no limits and they have taken classical music and genre bending to a whole new astonishing level," shares NDE co-creator Jacomo Bairos. "Their virtuosity as a group, synergy of musicianship and complete mastery of their craft creates such compelling music performances that our simply out of this world. With 'Joy,' they have gone to new musical heights and I'm so honored and proud not only to share this special collaboration, but to have witnessed their journey from the moment they lit their original spark."

Created by two of classical music's most in demand artists, Jacomo Bairos and Sam Hyken, Nu Deco Ensemble is a flexible and innovative hybrid orchestra that celebrates living composers, reimagines all genres of music and collaborates with a wide range of diverse musical guests, composers, choreographers, dancers and mixed media artists. Since its inception in 2015, the 30-piece ensemble has exploded onto Miami's eclectic musical scene, captivating audiences, engaging with its community and fusing innovative, genre-bending orchestral performances and collaborations with the highest levels of musical artistry.
