SUMMARY:Laurel Circle Concert Series: Rasa String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The Rasa String Quartet is back! Join us for an evening filled with music\, food\, and good company inside the historic Bigelow Chapel. \n\n\n\n\nThis April\, the Laurel Circle Concert Series will return with special performance Moira Smiley and Rasa String Quartet: Roots to Sky. Enjoy an evening filled with music\, food\, and good company inside the beautiful historic Bigelow Chapel. \nSinger and composer Moira Smiley joins forces with the Rasa String Quartet in a program that explores the rich intersection of folk and classical traditions. Centered around Smiley’s Rhizome Project- where voice\, banjo\, piano\, and strings intertwine through ancient and origional folk songs- the program also features works by Caroline Shaw\, Tchaikovsky\, and Sato Matsui. Together\, these peices reflect on the hidden networks that connect and sustain us\, much like the underground rhizomes that quietly nourish life from beneath the surface. \nFormed in 2019\, the Boston-based Rasa String Quartet consists of violinists Emma Powell and Maura Shawn Scanlin\, violist Kiyoshi Hayashi\, and cellist Mina Kim\, who are graduates of the New England Conservatory\, the Shepherd School of Music\, and Yale University. \nAs with all Laurel Circle Lectures and Concerts\, the program will begin with an hour-long reception beginning at 5:30\, followed by an hour of performance. \n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE>>\n  \nExperience a deeper connection to Mount Auburn Cemetery with free or discounted access to all our public programs and special events by joining the Friends of Mount Auburn.
