    Soundtrack to a Nightmare, with the Rasa String Quartet at the BPL

    5:30pm Thu, Oct 30, 2025
    GBH Music welcomes the Rasa String Quartet to the Boston Public Library for a free Halloween-inspired program hosted by CRB Classical 99.5 midday host Edyn-Mae Stevenson. Soundtrack to a Nightmare follows the arc of a Classic horror movie – from eerie atmospheres and unsettling beauty to blood-chilling terror and otherworldly transformation. Featuring Schubert’s feverish Death and the Maiden, Mozart’s ominous Dissonance Quartet, haunting tracks from Radiohead, and iconic Halloween hits, this spine-tingling journey blends classical drama, cinematic suspense, and supernatural flair!

    Formed in 2019, the the Rasa String Quartet brings together violinists Emma Powell and Maura Shawn Scanlin, violist Kiyoshi Hayashi, and cellist Mina Kim. The Rasa String Quartet is dedicated to exploring the musical space where classical and folk traditions intersect and influence one another. In Sanskrit, the term ‘rasa’ refers to the indescribable power of art to move, inspire, and connect us—a quality Rasa String Quartet strives to embody in every performance. The Rasa String Quartet will perform four free concerts at the BPL throughout the 2025-2026 GBH Music Season.
