Robert E. Brown Center for World Music is pleased to present a program on music from the Carpathian Bow by Veretski Pass.

Veretski Pass features Cookie Segelstein (Violin), Joshua Horowitz (Chromatic Button Accordion) and Stuart Brotman (Bass) performing music from the Carpathian Bow. Together they offer a unique and exciting combination of virtuosic musicianship and raw energy that has excited concertgoers across the world. With colorful instrumentation, unique arrangements and compositions, Veretski Pass plays "Old Country" music; music with origins in the Ottoman Empire, once fabled as the borderlands of the East and the West.

Robert E. Brown Center for World Music is an engagement program of School of Music promoting understanding and appreciation of music and dance traditions of the world.
