Nicole Pesce’s We3 & Friends “Songs of Love” at the MIM

We3 -
​

We3 performed their very first concert together on October 1, 2016, at the Nash in downtown Phoenix. An undeniable chemistry was recognized, and the group continued to perform sold out shows at the MIM and Phoenix Theatre along with recording their first full length CD, “We’ll Meet Again”.

These ladies are a powerhouse of talents combined, featuring vocalist Renee Grant Patrick (daughter to the late George Grant of the world famous Ink Spots), violinist Suzanne Lansford, and pianist Nicole Pesce.​

They have appeared on AZTV’s Channel 7 as the “Best of the Daily Mix” and made special appearances at the Chandler Jazz Festival and AZ Classic Jazz Festival, paying tribute to timeless tunes with new and familiar interpretations of popular, jazz, swing, blues standards, and so much more! ​

Summer of 2019 found We3 entertaining in jazz clubs in Paris, France and during most of 2020, We3 successfully presented live-streaming concerts for fans all over the world and helped Phoenix Theatre open their new outdoor stage with a two-week concert series run of "Happy Birthday Dionne!" 

Exciting endeavors are on the horizon for 2021 so stay tuned!  

MIM began with a vision to create a musical instrument museum that would be truly global. Realizing most musical museums featured historic, primarily Western classical instruments, MIM’s founder Bob Ulrich (then CEO of Target Corporation) was inspired to develop a new kind of museum that would focus on the kind of instruments played every day by people worldwide. A focus on the guest experience shaped every aspect of the museum’s development. From the beginning, our goal has been to deliver a musical experience that is enriching, inspiring, interesting, and fun.

Today, MIM has a collection of more than 7,500 instruments from more than 200 world countries and territories. The galleries reflect the rich diversity and history of many world cultures. But music and instruments also show us what we have in common—a thought powerfully expressed in our motto, music is the language of the soul.
