We invite you to join us for an evening with our old friends, Rasa String Quartet, for a concert featuring an eclectic mix of music from many traditions. Because Rasa has a second concert to play after ours, they will play ours all as one set (versus the usual two sets with a break in the middle). Come at 6:30, music at 7, stay as long as you like for food and drink with friends!
