   About The Alexandria Kleztet
For Email Marketing you can trust

The Alexandria Kleztet is an exciting and innovative alternative klezmer band based in the Washington/Baltimore region. Formed in 1998, they have brought their distinctive brand of this musical tradition to diverse venues throughout the Mid-Atlantic, including SEVEN annual appearances at the Kennedy Center, the Carter-Barron Ampitheatre, the State Theater (in Falls Church), the Baltimore International Festival, the Peabody Conservatory, plus the usual mix of weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs! The Kleztet went international in January 2007 when they played at the prestigious Semanas de Musicales in Frutillar, Chile at the invitation of the US Embassy.

By combining traditional Eastern-European/Jewish music with diverse influences from other genres, such as jazz, classical, worldbeat, and rock music, The Alexandria Kleztet creates a sound that is anything but traditional. Their most recent CD, Close Enough for Klezmer, was released in October 2005, and they are beginning work on a new album. All three of their albums, including Y2Klezmer (1999) and Delusions of Klezmer (2002), were named Best World Music Recording by the Washington Area Music Association (WAMA) following their release. The band has also received Wammies for "Best World Music Duo or Group" and "Best World Music Instrumentalist" (Seth Kibel) in 2003, 2004 and 2006. Bandleader Seth Kibel was named "Best Jazz Instrumentalist" in 2005.

.. Hi there The Alexandria Kleztet first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.

Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people you can click the link below to visit our profile which wlil provide you with more information and also give you the link to our website! I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.




And again , thanks for being our friend!..
