Isle of Klezbos

My name is Alexa Young

NYC based ISLE of KLEZBOS sextet approaches Yiddish musical traditions with loving irreverence and profound respect. The soulful, fun-loving powerhouse all women's klezmer sextet has toured from Vienna to Vancouver since 1998. Performing neo-folkloric tunes,

re-grooved standards, and genre-transcending originals, the ensemble's gorgeous arrangements range from rambunctious to swinging to ethereal.


ISLE OF KLEZBOS has been seen and heard on HBO, NPR, CBS SUNDAY MORNING, PBS and THE L WORD, as well as enjoying collaborations with artists such as Jill Sobule, Gregg Bordowitz and the Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling Scissor Sisters. Lauded by NEW YORK MAGAZINE for "cutting edge klezmer," and the L.A. BLADE as "rapturous and rollicking," the bandmates' group chemistry is catalyzed by stratospheric solos.
