The Boston-based Rasa String Quartet will perform at the next Music on Norway Pond concert Sunday, April 7, at 4 p.m. at First Congregational Church of Hancock, 47 Main St.

The quartet is known for exploring the musical space where classical and folk traditions intersect and influence one another. They are winners of the 2022 Associazione Europea Di Musica E Comunicazione International Chamber Music Competition, the 2021 Music Teachers National Association Chamber Music Competition and the 2020 Chamber Music Yellow Springs Competition, and they were the 2022-2023 ensemble in residence at Phillips Exeter Academy.

The quartet collaborates with folk musicians, performing their own programs in venues and festivals around the country, and participating in artistic and educational residencies at a variety of institutions. On April 7, they will present music by Claude Debussy, Wu Man, Sato Matsui and others.

Concerts are always one hour long, with no intermission. Tickets are $25, and free for students and children. They are available at tickettailor.com/events/musiconnorwaypond/1041466, musiconnorwaypond.org/upcoming-events or at the door.
