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

GBH Premiere Screening: FRONTLINE’s 2000 Meters to Andriivka
Join us for a special screening of FRONTLINE’s new film, 2000 Meters to Andriivka, at GBH Studios! From the Oscar®-winning team behind 20 Days in Mariupol, 2000 Meters to Andriivka documents the toll of the Russia-Ukraine war from a personal and devastating vantage point. Following his historic account of the civilian toll in Mariupol, Mstyslav Chernov turns his lens toward Ukrainian soldiers — who they are, where they came from, and the impossible decisions they face in the trenches as they fight for every inch of their land.
Amid a failing counteroffensive in 2023, Chernov and his Associated Press colleague Alex Babenko follow a Ukrainian brigade battling through approximately one mile of a heavily fortified forest on their mission to liberate the Russian-occupied village of Andriivka. Weaving together original footage, intensive Ukrainian Army bodycam video and powerful moments of reflection, 2000 Meters to Andriivka reveals–with haunting intimacy– the farther the soldiers advance through their destroyed homeland, the more they realize that, for them, this war may never end.
Doors open at 6:30pm. Seating is general admission in GBH’s Yawkey Theater. Film runtime is 2 hours 3 minutes. -
