In short

Steven O. Laraia is listed as a violist in two Boston Symphony Orchestra Community Chamber Concerts in January 2027, at Parish of All Saints and Hibernian Hall. The directory has no further biography, so this page covers only the listings.

What to listen for

The viola is the middle voice of the string family, with a darker, softer sound than the violin. The first January program includes Tchaikovsky's Souvenir de Florence, a warm sextet for strings, and Reger's Lyrisches Andante. The second pairs Shiuan Chang's As Body, As Vessel, a contemporary piece, with Prokofiev's Second String Quartet, which draws on folk melodies from the Caucasus region. Listeners can hear the viola lining the harmony and sometimes taking the tune.
