Trio Solisti
Trio Solisti shares its soulful passionate musicianship in a performance at Adelphi, as it continues its 10th year as ensemble-in-residence there. The trio, – composed of violinist Maria Bachmann, cellist Alexis Pia Gerlach and pianist Jon Klibonoff – has earned a reputation for concerts marked by virtuosity, seamless ensemble playing, and thrilling abandon. Performing a broad spectrum of styles, their versatility extends to new music, along with exciting interpretations of the classic repertoire. The program includes Rachmaninoff’s “Trio No. 1 in G Minor,” Turina’s “Trio No. 2 in B Minor,” Liebermann’s “Trio No. 3” and Trio Solisti’s arrangement of the Mussorgsky masterpiece “Pictures at an Exhibition.”
Saturday, Feb. 21, 8 p.m. $35 and $30. Adelphi University Performing Arts Center, 1 South Ave., Garden City. (516) 877-4000 or boxoffice@adelphi.edu.

On Stage

‘Experience the Beatles’
Shake off the winter doldrums with a bit of Beatlemania with the acclaimed tribute band Rain. With an appeal that’s taken them to Broadway and many wide-ranging venues, Rain performs the full catalogue of The Beatles’ discography during the show. They even tackle the most complex and challenging songs that The Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience. Together longer than The Beatles, Rain has mastered every song, gesture and nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a realistic, note-for-note performance that’s as infectious as it is transporting. From the early hits to later classics (“I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “Hard Day’s Night,” “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “Let It Be,” “Come Together,” “Hey Jude” and more), this tribute takes audiences back to those heady days when all you needed was love.
Saturday, Feb. 21, 2 and 8 p.m. $49.50 and $29.50. NYCB Theatre at Westbury, 960 Brush Hollow Rd., Westbury. (800) 745-300 or www.livenation.com.
