IT'S MUTHA F*CKIN' KLEZMER, YO!
Veretski Pass, a trio that performs traditional Eastern
European Jewish music, will be giving two free public performances in Champaign-Urbana on February 19th and 20th.
On Feb. 19, the band will be giving a workshop on klezmer music called "Ask Drs. Klez" at 4:00 in the Spurlock Museum auditorium. Expect lots of interaction with the audience!
On Feb. 20 at 7:30 p.m., they'll perform a concert at Smith Music Hall on the University of Illinois quad. Further information about their visit can be found HERE
A quote from the review of their CD in Rootsworld: "(Cookie) Segelstein's violin is at the center of this whirlwind, and it's a clean, muscular sound. She digs assertively into the strings, leaping and trilling without fear. Not to be outdone, Joshua Horowitz is equally at home on button accordion and tsimbl, matching Segelstein stroke for stroke. Stuart Brotman's bass buzzes and chugs underneath it all, adding just enough weight to keep things from flying off into the stratosphere. Individually, the musicians have impressive resumes; together they are a force to be reckoned with."
