Veretski Pass & Joel Rubin
Friday, April 11
An extraordinary group of musicians, Veretski Pass with Joel Rubin bring deep knowledge of the culture and practice of Klezmer and Eastern European music. Cookie Segelstein, violin, has played and taught klezmer fiddling all over the world. Joshua Horowitz, accordion, has performed and recorded with Itzhak Perlman, Theodore Bikel and the Vienna Chamber Orchestra and taught with the late Stan Getz at Stanford University. Stuart Brotman, bass, has recorded since 1989 and performed worldwide. Joel Rubin, clarinet, is Associate Professor at the University of Virginia and an internationally acclaimed performer of klezmer music.
This program is inspired by the publication of manuscripts from klezmer musicians collected before World War One in Ukraine and Belarus. This concert is filled with the band’s arrangements of these manuscripts, and their own compositions in the style of Jewish and Ukrainian folk music.
