Classical Music/Opera Listings, for Feb. 25-March 3
Published: February 24, 2011

★ Turtle Island String Quartet (Wednesday) This quartet has made a point of exploring jazz with the same seriousness it brings to classical works. Now it has taken on the music of Jimi Hendrix, which it plays with energy and inventiveness, if not quite the feedback-embellished grit that Hendrix brought to it himself. Hendrix dominates the program, which also includes “Tree of Life” by David Balakrishnan, one of the group’s violinists. At 7:30 and 9:30 p.m., Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theater, Symphony Space, 2537 Broadway, at 95th Street , (212) 864-5400 symphonyspace.org; $29 in advance, $34 at the door,, $15 for those under 30.
