As part of the Violins of Hope-SF Bay Area tour, several musicians will perform in a concert of music heard "Along the Trade Route". This concert combines melodies from Ireland to India and points in between heard "along the trade route." Musicians have shared melodies for centuries, without regard to boundaries, with Irish sailors bringing melodies to Ukrainian sea ports and Roma music with origins in India. Musicians Cookie Segelstein, Klezmer; Emmanuel During, Middle Eastern; Hemmige V. Srivatsan, South Indian; and Darcy Noonan, Celtic, will perform on violins once owned and played by prisoners in Nazi concentration camps. This concert is presented in association with Music at Kohl Mansion, Burlingame, CA to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Doors to the Oak Room will open at 2:45 p.m. ** Oak Room, 1st Floor **
