Kingston Notes

In Triplicate is a trio of internationally acclaimed musicians — violinist Jasmine Lin, cellist Clancy Newman, and bassist Nate Farrington. Celebrated for being “dazzling, profound, and highly entertaining” by the San Diego Story, the trio composes, arranges, and performs their own music. In this episode, they discuss the trio's origin story, their exhilarating musical expression that dances with the boundaries of classical music, the enduring relevance of classical music, and more!

They will perform in the Kingston Chamber Music Festival on July 26th at the Jamestown Arts Center in Jamestown, RI. KCMF's 37th season will be held July 23-August 3, 2025. Learn more and purchase tickets for each concert on our website!
