Veretski Pass Klezmer Trio: The Lost Jewish Melodies of Ukraine
SEE EVENT DETAILS
For this special event, Veretski Pass presents a program of formerly lost melodies of pre-Holocaust traditional Ukrainian-Jewish music, as well as dances from Ukraine.
This new program combines traditional folk resources from Ukraine with Veretski Pass' own new compositions. With both traditional and contemporary folk gestures, in concert with the traditional style of improvisation, this collection draws on sources of Ukrainian Jewish music that are in peril, being housed in the Vernadsky Library in Kiev, Ukraine.
PLUS: Join us at 3:00 for a 30 minute scholarly talk with Cookie Segelstein - Veretski Pass: UNDER THE HOOD: Using Jewish Archival Materials to Create New Music and Arrangements, at no extra cost!
In this short talk, violinist/violist, scholar and teacher Cookie Segelstein will explore ways that musicians can balance old-school research and learning with digital resources. How does Veretski Pass use Jewish archival collection materials to compose and arrange new music? This presentation shows their creative process, from gathering materials, to the treatment of the smallest melodic fragments, to using whole melodies. Cookie will show elements of this, including music sources, tempo and key treatments, melodic and rhythmic variations. (Thank you, Klez California for their generous support of this talk!)
With Cookie Segelstein, Violin; Joshua Horowitz, 19th Century Button Accordion, Tsimbl (Cimbalom); Stuart Brotman, String Bass
$15-$30.
Presented by Calliope: East Bay Music & Arts
