String quartet taking pop quiz at Britney’s show

The members of a string quartet playing UNLV's Charles Vanda Master Series Oct. 24 plan to catch Britney Spears' act while they're in town.

But before they see Britney, they'll play Britney — whose "Toxic" is featured in the repertoire of Well-Strung: The Singing String Quartet.

The music of Spears and fellow Strip headliner Celine Dion is a perfect fit for Well-Strung's classical-meets-pop style, according to violist Trevor Wadleigh.

And that makes a pilgrimage to Spears' "Piece of Me" show at Planet Hollywood a must for the quartet's Vegas debut, Wadleigh says.
