SUMMARY:The Rasa String Quartet: Pop Icons Reimagined
DESCRIPTION:Two Music Legends. One String Quartet. A One-of-a-Kind Setting.\nSunday\, August 24\nTwo separately ticketed performances:\nTAYLOR SWIFT at 6:00 PM\nQUEEN at 8:00 PM\nhttps://bit.ly/RasaHCM \nWithin the near-perfect acoustics of the Great Hall at Hammond Castle Museum\, two musical icons are reborn through the artistry of the award-winning Rasa String Quartet. Join us for one of two extraordinary performances by the Quartet reimagining the music of pop icon Taylor Swift or one of the most influential rock bands of all time\, Queen. The Great Hall boasts soaring ceilings\, stone walls\, and carefully calculated acoustics that make it a near-perfect space for live performance—an ideal setting to hear the classics transformed. \nEver imagined hearing the music of global pop legends performed by an award-winning string quartet–inside a medieval castle with soaring ceilings\, stone walls\, and immersively epic acoustics? \nEach performance is ticketed separately\nTAYLOR SWIFT at 6:00 PM – Swifties: Get swept away by virtuosic\, genre-defying string renditions of her biggest hits—from nostalgic anthems like Love Story and You Belong With Me to chart-toppers like Cruel Summer and I Can Do It With a Broken Heart. \nQUEEN at 8:00 PM – Queen Diehards: Feel the thrill of lush\, heart-pounding arrangements of Queen’s greatest hits\, including Bohemian Rhapsody\, Don’t Stop Me Now\, and more! \nAbout the Experience!\nEach 60-minute concert takes place in the legendary Great Hall of Hammond Castle Museum\, a stone-walled masterpiece perched on the Gloucester coast. With its Gothic arches\, flickering candlelight\, and world-class acoustics\, it’s the perfect setting for an unforgettable musical experience. \nPlease note: There are no assigned seats.\nLight refreshments will be available for purchase. Cash Bar. \n*At the time of this event\, the Museum will be closed to tours. If concert ticket holders wish to tour Hammond Castle Museum prior to 2:30 pm on the day of the performance\, Self-Guided Tour tickets may be purchased in the Museum Shop at a 20% discount.
