ALBEMARLE — Continuing the Stanly County Concert Association’s 2024-25 concert series, the multi-genre trio TAKE3 will soon be making an appearance in Albemarle.
The concert is scheduled for Nov. 16 at 7:30 p.m. inside the Stanly County Agri-Civic Center (26032 Newt Rd.).
Blending a classical background with rock music, pop, and jazz interpretations, the group poses variety as its calling card, citing its repertoire as being “from Bach and Beethoven to Bieber and The Beach Boys.”
“In addition to their stage presence, TAKE3’s commitment to musical excellence and creativity sets them apart,” the SCCA stated in a promotional advertisement. “Their ability to engage with the audience, coupled with their exceptional musical talent, ensures that every performance is a memorable experience. Whether playing in intimate venues or grand theaters, TAKE3 continues to redefine what a classical crossover group can be, leaving audiences eagerly anticipating their next show.”
Featuring Lindsay Deutsch (violin/vocals), Mikala Schmitz (cello), and Tomomi Sato (piano), the trio hails from the practice rooms of Julliard and the Colburn School.
As the group’s founder, Deutsch began her career as a classical soloist and has had performances on television soundtracks such as “The Witcher” and “All About Pam” that have reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts with millions of streams worldwide.
The trio has performed across the country, showcasing varied arrangements of pop hits, Americana, and classical mashups. Following its stop in Stanly County, TAKE3 will head to Virginia and Indiana before wrapping up the year with appearances in Illinois, Michigan, Florida, and Oregon
According to a press piece from the Los Angeles Times, the trio has “a bold, aggressive tone and a body language that speaks loud and clear to audiences raised on rock videos.”
Ticket prices for the concert are $25 for adults and $10 for students. Full-season tickets for the SCCA’s slate of concerts can still be purchased for $80 for adults and $25 for students.

Following a performance from the Nu-Blu Bluegrass Band back on Sept. 21, the upcoming TAKE3 concert marks the second of the five concerts in the association’s 2024-2025 series.
The Hall Sisters (Dec. 14), Latin Swing Entertainment (March 22), and S.O.A.R Jazz Group (April 12) are the other remaining acts in this year’s concert series at the Stanly County Agri-Civic Center.
Established in 1947, the SCCA hosted its first concert at Albemarle High School and later hosted shows at Pfeiffer College (now Pfeiffer University). The Stanly County Agri-Civic Center became the home for the concert association in 1989 and has remained so ever since.
