Join us for a Musical Conversation with Veretski Pass. Veretski Pass takes its name from the mountain pass in the Carpathians through which emigrating Jews settled in Transcarpathia.  Much of the music they play comes from this region. With traditional instruments of this area, violin and bayan (button accordion), and bass, this veteran trio plays a mix of Jewish instrumental music of pre-WWII Eastern Europe, or klezmer music, along with traditional melodies from Ukraine, Carpathian-Ruthenia, Bessarabia, Poland and Romania. Sponsored by Music at Kohl Mansion and the San Mateo Public Library Foundation.
