Nick Kendall lights up concert halls across the United Staes and three continents as a solo performer and as a member of the Grammy and Emmy Award-winning string band Time for Three (aka TF3) and the artist collective East Coast Chamber Orchestra (aka ECCO).
In his career as a soloist and with TF3 and ECCO, Kendall has performed at Carnegie Hall, David Geffen Hall and many venues across the Lincoln Center campus in New York City. Other performance outlets include NPR’s “Tiny Desk Concerts,” the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center and Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, Schleswig-Holstein Festival outside Hamburg, Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and Davies Hall in San Francisco, BBC Proms in London, Ravinia Festival, Melbourne’s Hamer Hall, Wiener Musikverein, Marlboro Music Festival, Sydney Opera House, Hyogo Performing Arts Center outside Osaka, Dvořák Hall at Prague’s Rudolfinum, Hong Kong Cultural Center and an array of sports arenas across Belgium, Germany, Denmark and Luxembourg, as one of the featured artists in the touring show “Night of the Proms.” In fall 2022, Kendall joined Joshua Bell and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields for their South American tour as the orchestra’s guest leader.
He has shared the stage with Joshua Bell, Branford Marsalis, Christoph Eschenbach, Joshua Radin, Keith Lockhart, Alisa Weilerstein, Michael Tilson Thomas, Jake Shimabukuro, Aoife O’Donovan, Marin Alsop, Chris Thile, Xian Zhang, James Gaffigan, Krzysztof Urbański, Chris Brubeck (who composed a jazz-inspired improvised violin concerto for him), Swiss pop-soul star Stefanie Heinzmann, the legendary Scottish rock band Simple Minds, “Late Show” bandleader Louis Cato and singer-songwriter Danielle Ponder. In 2023, Kendall and TF3 appeared in a new entertainment format event, JammJam, alongside Grammy nominees Big Freedia, Tank and the Bangas, Cimafunk and Ibrahim Maalouf.
Emblematic of Kendall’s diverse artistic expressions are special projects that include — in addition to original film scoring and recording new music by living composers — co-writing, producing and performing on pop albums. Besides co-composing the Land soundtrack and releasing the Grammy-winning disc Letters for the Future (Deutsche Grammophon) and the Philadelphia Orchestra presenting him commissions by Jennifer Hidgon and Kevin Puts), Kendall also performs on R&B superstar Summer Walker’s hit “Still Over It” (Interscope, 2021).
