“A violinist clearly poised for a substantial career” (The Philadelphia Inquirer), Nick Kendall is a 2000 Astral Artistic Services National Auditions recipient and first prize winner of the 2002 Young Concerts Artists International Auditions. He debuted with the National Symphony Orchestra and the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra as the winner of their Young Artists competitions. Much in demand as a soloist, he has performed in Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Cleveland, New York, and Tokyo. Recent highlights include a Philadelphia recital debut as part of the Kimmel Center’s “Rising Stars” series, a quartet performance at New York's Carnegie Hall, and a guest artist appearance on tour with the Metamorphosen Chamber Orchestra.

Nick Kendall’s passion for bringing together music of all styles and genres prompted him to create the string trio Time for Three, hailed by Sir Simon Rattle as “monsters of ability and technique, conveyors of an infectious joy.” Time for Three tours the United States performing an eclectic repertoire that incorporates bluegrass, Hungarian gypsy, jazz, country-western, classical, and improvisatory music. The trio has performed over 200 engagements in venues as diverse as its music, appearing as featured guest soloists with The Philadelphia Orchestra, opening for They Might Be Giants at Philadelphia’s Penn’s Landing, and at Paul Newman’s Hole In The Wall Gang Camp’s “Fandango XIV.” Nick Kendall is also co-founder of the Dryden String Quartet and the East Coast Chamber Orchestra.
