GBH Music welcomes the Rasa String Quartet to the Boston Public Library for a free holiday program, hosted by CRB Classical 99.5 midday host Edyn-Mae Stevenson! Let it Snow! features heartwarming folk tunes, holiday traditionals, and classic hits from the most wonderful time of the year. Take shelter at the BPL and warm up with an hour of festive, live music.
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.
