The Time For Three classical-rock-jazz-everything-else strings trio already has promised a freewheeling performance for the 7 p.m. Friday Live On the Plaza concert, the Columbus Area Arts Council’s annual free, signature event. The group never has been accused of being bland, and they seem especially gifted at merging classical works with almost anything else under the sun in the modern world. To top if off, the Bartholomew County Public Library plaza, the event’s site, serves as a fine spot for any outdoor evening gathering. Information: artsincolumbus.org.
