As part of their longstanding history of collaboration with contemporary classical composers, they have worked closely with esteemed artists such as Chris Brubeck and Pulitzer Prize winners William Bolcom and Jennifer Higdon. Their most recent commission, Contact, composed by Pulitzer Prize winner Kevin Puts, premiered with the San Francisco Symphony and The Philadelphia Orchestra in the summer of 2022. This extraordinary piece, alongside Jennifer Higdon's Concerto 4-3, was released on Deutsche Grammophon under the album title Letters for the Future. Conducted by Xian Zhang, the album's exceptional quality propelled it onto the Billboard top 10 Classical Recordings charts. Additionally, it garnered a nomination for an Opus Klassik award and received a Grammy win in the Best Classical Instrumental Solo category.

Renowned for their charismatic and energetic performances, TF3 has earned praise from respected outlets including NPR, NBC, The Wall Street Journal, and the Chicago Sun-Times.

TF3's exceptional talents have not only earned them a Grammy win but also won them an Emmy for their concert special, 'Time For Three In Concert,' produced by PBS. Their zeal for new experiences led them to collaborate with cellist and composer Ben Sollee, creating the soundtrack for Focus Features' film, “Land”, directed by Robin Wright which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2021.

Time For Three's artistic achievements, fueled by their relentless pursuit of musical excellence, have solidified their status as an exceptionally talented ensemble.
