A.R.G. Sextet explores the balance between improvisation and the written

challenges the assumed role of each of the instruments, particularly the
voice. They recently recorded a new CD anticipated to be released in 2008,
and will be playing a ³preview concert² at the world renowned Jazz Standard

At the Stone in NYC, 2nd St. and Ave C, www.thestonenyc.com
Violinist Alicia Svigals, a founder of the Grammy-winning Klezmatics

The fifty acts Svigals booked revolve around three themes: Jewish
music, virtuoso female instrumentalist/improvisers/composers, and
all kinds of string music, traditional and contemporary.…

Before the big klezmer bands of the new world arose with their brass and
drums, there were the archetypical Jewish orchestras of the old world, led by
the fiddle and bourne aloft by the otherworldy sounds of the harp-like
‘tsimbl’, or Jewish hammered dulcimer. Renowned violinist Alicia Svigals, a founder
of the Klezmatics and one of the world’s foremost klezmer fiddlers, presents a program
of those ancient and ecstatic Jewish melodies, accompanied by the scene’s
top players on fiddle, tsimbl and string bass: Mimi Rabson, Pete Rushefsky and
Jim Guttman.
