The High School G/T Orchestra is composed of students from HCPSS’ 12 high schools, selected via a rigorous audition process.

Time for Three, featuring Charles Yang (violin), Nick Kendall (violin), and Ranaan Meyer (double bass), is known for its unique blend of eras, styles, and traditions of Western music.

This event is presented in partnership with the Columbia Festival of the Arts and the Downtown Columbia Arts and Culture Commission.
