Tues. March 27

Do you like rock but have, maybe, a secret passion for chamber music? Did the string sections of ELO turn you off, but the strings used by Nick Drake turn you on? Do you dig Kronos Quartet? Consider 2 Foot Yard. They are a trio: Carla Kihlstedt on violin and voice (in photo), Marika Huges on cello and voice and Shahzad Ismaily on percussion and guitar. They toss some electronic bits in the mix, too. Billboard calls 'em “A head-spinning collection that melds classical virtuosity, folk, soul and pop imagination.” What to expect at the Institute of Contemporary Arts Tuesday March 27: rock, cinematic soundscapes, jazz, Laurie Anderson–inspired currents and global abstractions. Starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets: $25.
