Bay Chamber presents their new Midday Concert Series with Rasa String Quartet on Wednesday,  Jan. 11 at 1 p.m. at Union Hall, 6 Central St. in Rockport Village.

Formed in 2019, the Boston-based Rasa String Quartet is emerging as one of New England’s finest ensembles. The quartet received first prize in the Associazione Europea Di Musica E Comunicazione International Chamber Music Competition (Italy), and they have performed across the United States with appearances at Rockport Music, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Martha’s Vineyard Chamber Music Society and Boston New Music Festival. Their program, featuring music by William Grant Still, Rhiannon Giddens and Beethoven, explores the art of musical portraiture through the vivid storytelling of folk traditions.

Bay Chamber’s new Midday Music Series of four winter/spring concerts features innovative artists and ensembles and offers a midday break in the relaxed atmosphere of Union Hall. Feel free to bring your lunch! Tickets include coffee and cookies available before the concert.
