“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.” Paulo Coelho

We have been on the road continuously since we last wrote in our diary.  With little breaks in between to re-pack our suitcases and do laundry, the side effects of living on the road have finally kicked in, and all three of us are healing from our little colds until we leave for Florida again in just a few hours.

Life as a musician is an ongoing adventure with no fixed set of rules.  Many, often long hours spent on the plane become a great opportunity to catch up on sleep and a great book becomes a way of escape from all the hassle of traveling.  Performing while short on sleep or under the weather has never been a problem for us because as soon as we hit the stage all problems disappear.  Music is our ultimate medicine.

In the last several months we had performed in many beautiful places such as San Francisco, Houston, upstate New York, San Antonio, Orlando, Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, various California locations, Chicago, Phoenix, Charlotte, and San Diego. We are soon heading to perform in Orlando again, Tulsa and Colorado Springs. We invite everyone interested to come see our performance at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino on April 23rd.  It is a fun show with a “Vegas meets Cirque” theme and we are featured several times during the production. Hope to see you there!

Bradford Rogne is an amazing photographer and we have been fortunate enough to have had a new shoot with him in his LA studio.  Please check in soon as the new photos are on their way! We promise that you won’t be disappointed.  Do not be surprised when you see pictures of us playing guitar and piano rather than violin.  We are not just posing.  We have been slowly adding songs to our repertoire that showcase us not only singing and playing the violin but also accompanying each other on piano, guitar and viola.  We absolutely love the organic sound that these instruments offer and hope to include more songs of this type when time allows.

A funny situation that happened to us a few weeks ago inspired us to select a quote about judging as an introduction to our diary.  We had just arrived at the destination of our next show and, as always, had a car service take us from the airport to the hotel.  We met our driver in the baggage claim who was holding a piece of paper with our group’s name on it.  Aleksandra quickly said hello to the driver but, hungry and tired after a long flight, kept looking around the airport hoping to find a place that would serve hot soup at midnight.  Monika, not thinking much of it, decided to take a seat and patiently waited for the luggage to arrive, while Izabela went to look for an ATM to get extra cash.  On our way to the hotel we had a vibrant discussion trying to decide on a new song that we would like to work on.  Our driver was quieter than usually but we did not think much of it.  The next morning he welcomed us asking what song we had decided on and he even remembered the titles. Still, it wasn’t until we were coming back from our sound check that he admitted, that when he first saw us he was scared and intimidated by us and a lot of it had to do with the way we look and the fact that we are triplets. The fact that we all spread out once we got to the baggage claim just confused him even more and the loud discussion on our way to the hotel that sounded almost like an argument left him in shock. We eventually became friends and he was no longer scared or intimidated by us. We learned to enjoy each other’s company and had nice conversations.  However, that situation left us thinking that we live in a world of constant judgment.  We judge each other based on appearance, beliefs, sex, religion, material possessions, talents and skills instead of appreciating each other and loving each other despite our differences.
Albert Einstein once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."  What would our world be like if we all stopped judging and instead chose to accept and love one another?
As triplets, we face many situations when although physically similar we couldn’t be more different.  Finding solutions when there are three strong points of view isn’t easy.
We can totally relate to all the chaos in our world, society, and politics.  No one is perfect but if there is love, everything is possible.  After all only Love matters.

May the Lord bless you,
May it be a new beginning of greater prosperity, success and happiness to you,

Happy Easter everyone,

With Love,

ALIZMA

 

 

December 18, 2009

Christmas is coming in just a few days. We are very happy we will be able to celebrate the birthday of our Lord Jesus with our family in Poland. We are very excited for all the good food and festivities that are awaiting us in our family home.  
We are approaching the New Year of 2010 with gratitude for all the blessings and lessons learned in 2009 and are looking forward with hope for yet a better and more fruitful new year.

This past year has been an amazing year that brought us many U.S. and international travels. We have performed and entertained many different audiences always pouring out our hearts and souls. Our biggest reward has been the ability to connect with so many people through the power of music. The bond which music creates between hearts and souls of the audience and the artist is incredible and that powerful energy is what always brings us much joy and happiness. We are thankful to have a job that we all love so much. Thank you!

In the last couple of months we had an opportunity to perform in Asia, Singapore and Hong Kong. Both experiences were amazing. We have tremendously enjoyed getting to know both cities, learning the local cultures and trying out the different food.  We definitely hope to travel to that part of the world more often in the New Year.  We also got a taste of what it is like to be performing in a “Top Talent U.S” variety show, when we performed for several weeks at the Turning Stone Casino and Resort in New York. We will be returning to the resort to do a few more dates in the New Year. If you live in upstate New York we invite you to come and check out the show.

One of the bigger events this year for us was performing on America’s Got Talent variety talent TV show.  We enjoyed this experience immensely and thank God for giving us an opportunity to grow as people and as musicians.  This show has brought a life changing inspiration in our songwriting. It has helped us shape a new musical direction for our group, which combines elements of pop, classical and world music.  All of our new written songs focus on the subject of love, positive aspects of life, following you’re heart and staying true to yourself, walking the path of you’re destiny, completing a life mission while alive, forgiveness and passion.  We are very excited about our new music and hope to share it with the world soon.

As musicians and artists it is our responsibility to let you all know that although judges interrupted our final performance on AGT, our musical performance on America’s Got Talent did not contain an error on our part in any way.  The high note  (G 3) sang by Izabela was performed perfectly in tune both times and there was no true reason for the judges to stop our performance.  As professional musicians and artists who all hold Master’s degrees in music, it was our responsibility to stand up for ourselves and for the truth.  It is unfortunate that people who judge talent competitions like AGT are not musicians and have no music knowledge. We thank all of the musicians who have showed us support and surrounded us with love at times when music knowledge was a barrier for others.
 
 Several years ago Kelly Clarkson performed the same song, “Natural Woman”, on American Idol and also sang a high note in the same spot (not nearly as high as Izabela’s) and was applauded by the judges and the audience for having a high vocal range, while the three of us got buzzed for a perfectly fine note!

Also, although we ourselves do not feel the need to wear sexy clothes while performing, most Las Vegas shows are sexy and often topless, and we were told by Vegas Executives a year earlier, that if we ever wanted to perform in Las Vegas, we would need to have a harder edge and become sexier.   We live in Las Vegas and have seen most Las Vegas Shows.  It was our knowledge and experience combined with the calling of our hearts that directed us to sing, play and perform the songs we chose for our AGT performance.  We have no regrets. We are thankful for that experience and hope that more people in the future will have the opportunity to study music and will rely on their own knowledge and own expertise and not follow the opinion of others.

With all that said, we had an amazing year and we are looking for another yet more amazing year to come.  We love you all and thank you for checking in with us.  We appreciate you visiting our website. Don’t forget: "May the good times and treasures of the present become the golden memories of tomorrow."

We wish each and every one of you lots of love, joy, peace and happiness in the New Year of 2010!

With Love,

ALIZMA

“I can do all things through him who strengthens me” /Philippians 4:13/

It’s been a crazy couple of months for us. A lot of things have happened and we've had opportunities to perform in many amazing and beautiful places. We also had a chance to see live performances of such amazing artists as Beyonce, Aerosmith, Britney Spears, Yanni, Dave Mathew’s Band, Taylor Swift, and David Foster with friends. And they all performed here in Las Vegas! Who wouldn’t want to live in the most exciting and happening town in the world ?. We also finally saw “The Lion King” at Mandalay Bay and it was absolutely spectacular.

As you all know, over the last few months we were busy with America’s Got Talent where we got to perform through the live shows of the quarterfinals. Overall it was a great experience to be a part of this show and we’re sending big hugs to all of our fans out there and people who voted for us! We have gotten many supportive fan e-mails and messages, which were definitely very uplifting and in some cases very inspirational. Some contained suggestions and advice on music, outfits, etc. Thank you all for your terrific insights. We read them all and tried to take each into consideration. In the end we believe that you always need to follow your own heart and do what you feel is right and good for you. That is exactly how we approached our preparations for that show.
However, things are not always as they seem and winning for us didn't necessarily mean winning the show.

We also want to make a special note in regards to sensuality and sex appeal on stage.
It is never our intent to come across as if that was our main focus. Our goal is not to concentrate on our bodies but rather to make the best music possible and put on the best show that we can! With that in mind, we want to stress that being fit and staying in shape are things that we care very much about and we believe that it is part of our job as musicians and entertainers. Exercise and good nutrition help us maintain a healthy lifestyle, which hopefully shines through on stage.

Going back to our performances after America’s Got Talent, we noticed that the audiences are even warmer than before and everywhere we perform we are recognized as the triplets from television smileor the triplets from America’s Got Talent.
Hopefully, there will be another opportunity soon where we can be a part of a different television production, which will help move the audience perception beyond AGT. But at this moment we are still satisfied with the publicity we received from our appearance on that particular show.

Over the last few months we have performed in Las Vegas (our home town), Orlando, Palm Springs, Los Angeles, New Jersey, New York and North Carolina. We apologize for not posting our performance schedule on our web site but we perform at mostly closed events, which are not open to the public. However this month we are involved in a 3 week engagement that, in fact, is open for anyone over 18 years old. We will be performing at the “Turning Stone Casino” which is located in Verona, NY. This is a variety show so it should be really exciting and FUN! While doing this we are still going to be traveling to other parts of the United States and performing at a few of our usual “closed to the public" events. We hope to see everyone in Verona and, if not, then maybe at our next open-to-the-public performance!

We’re sending Big Hugs to everyone out there and remember… always stay true to yourself no matter what the circumstances may be!

Hebrews 12:1” Let us strip off every weight that slows us down…And let us run with endurance that race that God has set before us.”

We are thankful for the last several months as we have been on the road a lot and performed often in Las Vegas, our hometown. It is impossible to write about all of the shows that we have played, places we have visited or people we have met over the past several months but we will do our best to highlight our most memorable ones.

Tomorrow we are heading to Hawaii to play a show in Honolulu. We are very excited to perform in such a beautiful place and hope to sneak in a little time at the beach. Recently we traveled to Charlotte, NC to perform at Fight Night for Kids charity event presented by the Charlotte Bobcats. We were the entertainment for the evening and our stage was set up in a boxing ring with over one thousand men surrounding us and watching us perform. It was a new experience for us but definitely a very exciting one.

We went to New Orleans just a few weeks ago and very much enjoyed exploring the town as this was our first time there. In addition to performing at the Auto Show happening in town, we played fiddle and the washboard with a random band we saw at one of the bars on Bourbon Street. We also enjoyed drinking hurricanes and eating all of the great Southern cooking. The town looked beautiful with all of the decorations for the upcoming Mardi Gras celebrations. Another show we very much enjoyed was performing at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. We opened for Kenny Loggins and we were able to chat with him before the show. We performed with a band behind us and very much enjoyed the atmosphere of such a big venue. At the beginning of January we played the national anthem for Lakers at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. We played for a full house with Reese Witherspoon & Jake Gyllenhaal in attendance. We also got to meet Kobe Bryant and took a picture together. Photos of that night are available on our website in the performing photos and photos sections. Another great event within the last few months was going to Manhattan and showcasing at the 45th annual Association of Performing Arts Presenters (APAP) convention. While there we met with many booking agents and prospective clients and played a show at the Bitter End, the most famous nightclub in New York City's legendary Greenwich Village. Many famous artists such as Neil Diamond, Woody Allen, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Ricky Nelson, Nina Simone, Dustin Hoffman, Charles Aznavour, Lily Tomlin, Stevie Wonder, Kris Kristofferson, Joni Mitchell, George Carlin, Harry Chapin, Tim Hardin, Phil Ochs and Bob Dylan have all played there and now ALIZMA has joined this prestigious group. After our performance, we received a great compliment from a stranger who has been to Bitter End every night for the last several years and who told us our show was one of the best he has ever seen there. That compliment from a person we have never met meant a lot for us and warmed our hearts. Thank you!

In the last several months we have performed at numerous resort openings as well as events related to various product releases. We traveled to Sacramento, CA to open the Red Hawk Casino. We enjoyed our time in Sacramento as it was our first time there. We also performed for the Riviera Resort opening in Palm Springs and traveled to Fort Lauderdale to play for Siemens annual meetings. After the show we met our friends who live in Miami and partied all night in the coolest clubs in Palm Beach. Playing at the Sears Tower at the Metropolitan Club in Chicago was fun and we loved looking at the panorama of Chicago from the top of the building. We played for more than five thousand people at the SEMA convention, which is the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world organized in Las Vegas. We traveled to Detroit to perform at the opening of the new terminal for the Detroit International Airport. We did not get to see much of Detroit as we stayed at The Westin Detroit Metropolitan Airport, a hotel that is connected to the new airport terminal. We didn’t even use a car while there. We simply walked from the hotel to the airport and it was very convenient.

A couple months ago we were hired to perform at an event for HP where there would be more than five thousand people in attendance. We performed for HP earlier this year for a group of HP executives and were excited to do it again. The event was being held in Las Vegas. Fifteen minutes before going on stage we were told that our show had been canceled due to our sexiness and beauty. The client (HP) had decided that our white outfits, which can be seen at the intro of our website (decide for yourself), were too sexy and our beauty would be too much to handle. We work hard to maintain our bodies and our image. It is most important for us to first, be great musicians and we have always put our top focus on being great at singing and playing the violin. Up until this experience with HP we had never heard from anyone that we are too sexy. As a matter of fact, we have been told several times that we should be sexier and make the most of our natural beauty. We love HP and thank them for giving us the best compliment of our lives regarding our looks but do hope that next time they will let us know earlier and not wait fifteen minutes before our show to let us know we are too sexy to perform.

On our days off we attend live shows of different acts from in and out of town. We went to Donny and Marie who opened at the Las Vegas Flamingo and Criss Angel Believe by Cirque du Soleil which opened at the Luxor. Book release parties and restaurant openings are always fun for us to go to as well.

We have been enjoying living in Las Vegas immensely and we love all the traveling we get to do as well. We have found great support in this town and are thankful to all the media for all the press we have been getting. We have appeared many times in Robin Leach’s LUXE LIFE BLOG and Norm Clarke has written about us in Norm Vegas Confidential. Thank you all so very much.

With Love,

ALIZMA

Czesc (Hello),

We are writing to you from Europe.

In this little diary entry, we will take you on a journey of the last several months of our lives.  We will begin by saying that our business professor, Dr. Sample, was right by saying, "Find something you love to do and you will never have to work again".  Seize the Day is our every day motto.  We continuously do what we love most and are grateful for each new day.  Connecting with audiences all over the world through the power of music, traveling and always meeting new people and hearing their stories is our inspiration and brings us enormous joy.

We want to invite you to read an article about us featured in the August 2008 issue of BADiDEA Mag azine.  If you haven't yet had a chance to check it out, we made it easy for you and posted a copy of it on our website under Press. In the interview, we each gave a description of a perfect man.  Read to see if you fit any of the categories :-)

A month ago we went to LA to tape an episode of "Hole in the Wall", a new TV show that will air on Thursday nights at 8 p.m. ET starting on Sept. 11 on FOX.  If you want to see the three of us wearing tight silver jumpsuits while trying to fit our bodies through cut-out shapes into an approaching barrier wall, do not miss the hot episode of "Hole in the Wall", as it is not like any other TV show you have ever seen.  We not only won the TV competition but had so much fun while taping.

In the past several months, we performed often in Las Vegas, our hometown at the moment, but also traveled a lot outside the State and the US.  A show we played in Grand Hyatt Kauaii was one of our favorites, as we were able to visit the beautiful island and lay out on the beach.  In Las Vegas, we performed at many corporate events and charity galas hosted at Caesars Palace, MGM Grand Mansions, Venetian, Palazzo, Belagio, Mandalay Bay, Green Valley Ranch, Red Rock and Wynn.  We also performed twice at Sam's Town Dennis Bono Radio Show.

We traveled to play shows in Poland, Chicago, San Diego, Los Angeles, Scottsdale and Washington D.C.  In Washington, we performed at a Clinical Lab Expo for the AACC Annual Meeting.  Together with Beckman Coulter, we showcased the benefits of our instruments.

While in D.C., we got to see Senator Barak Obama.  We did not get to talk to him but just seeing Obama while in D.C. was an experience of its own and made our stay there that much more exciting.  We are also very happy that Senator Biden has been nominated as Obama's pick for Vice President.  We have had the pleasure of meeting him personally and performed at his Christmas Party several years ago.

In the recent months, we have had several photo shoots and worked on a couple of different advertising campaigns.  We were featured on billboards, posters and the Internet for the Las Vegas Flamingo Pool ads.  We also taped a television commercial for Nissan and will have a Nissan press photo shoot in the upcoming weeks.  Several months ago, we had a new publicity shoot.  You may view the new pics on our website under Photos.

When in Vegas, we like to see shows and attend parties and press events.  In the recent months, we attended the "Double or Nothing" author's press event, walked the red carpet at an event at CatHouse hosted by Stacy Keibler and a blue carpet at 2008 CineVegas Film Festival-Closing Night Party Celebrating the 5th Anniversary of "Vegas Magazine".  Some of the artists who we got to see perform in Vegas recently include: Fergie, Van Halen, Stix, Stone Temple Pilots, Earth, Wind & Fire, Morris Day and The Time, Bette Midler, Cher and are looking forward to seeing Janet Jackson and Enrique Iglesias. 

Can't wait for new months to come...we will keep you posted.

Until next time - bye bye bye.

Hey everyone,
We are writing to you from Vegas. We just returned from LA today where we performed at Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.  Even though we no longer live there it feels like home every time we go back to California.

It has been a while since our last diary entry but we decided to wait a little longer to make you more curious and anxious for new stories of our lives.

In the past few months we traveled quite a bit but also had an opportunity to play a lot here in Las Vegas.  We just completed week long performances on the strip. From March 4 till the 8th we opened for George Wallace, a well known Vegas headliner.  In February we hosted a night at CatHouse, Vegas new hot spot, where we also performed a couple cool club tunes with a DJ.  We were fortunate to get a lot of publicity in the local press here in town which has opened doors to several new opportunities.  Robin Leach wrote  about us in his February 4th blog including pictures.  We were featured on the cover of ’08 Valentine’s week of “Today” in Las Vegas Magazine with an included interview.  The editor has informed us this has been the most successful cover yet in the history of this magazine.  This has made us very happy being our first magazine cover ever.  We were also featured in a one page long article in the March ’08 issue of Vegas magazine.  The magazine is still available in stores if you haven’t yet picked up a copy. 

At the end of October we went back to perform in China.  This time we went to Shanghai and again had a blast. We love Asian culture.  The food is amazing and the people there greatly appreciate art and music. In the last months we performed numerous gigs here in town including the Frontier Implosion Press Party at Wynn, Town Square Mall Opening, Harrahs Fam-Reina, Sapphire 5th Anniversary, Canon for Kids Charity Gala, and Holiday Celebration for St. Rose Dominican Hospitals, numerous showcases for the CaterSource 2008, Fiat of Italy, Mccormick Spices and a special event for Vegas Magazine.  We also taped two TV specials including one for Lifetime channel and second for Azteca Latin Television.  In the past few months we played in San Diego numerous times.  One of the more favorite performances was a show we did for the opening of the Mission Bay San Diego Hyatt.  The hotel has been entirely renovated and reopened to the public. We traveled several times to play in Los Angeles, including a performance in O.C, where we performed at the St. Regis Monarc Bay; Tuscan, AZ, where we played for Angel Foundation Charity Gala, Holiday Celebration for Pali Capital at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in NYC, etc.

We went home to Poland for Christmas and enjoyed spending time with our parents.  Changing cultures is always wonderful and allows us to appreciate all the great things different cultures have to offer.  Our New Year’s Eve celebration was especially fun as we got to celebrate it most the way we love best.  We performed at the Primm Valley Casino Resorts.  The crowd was a lot of fun and we all welcomed the New Year feeling happy and excited for new things to come.  In the past months we attended several red carpet events and saw many amazing shows. 

We walked the red carpet at the opening of CatHouse, black carpet at the opening of Starlight Tatoo at Mandalay Bay co-owned by David Navarro and Tommy Lee, and the pink carpet at the press event for the Vegas X Show.

We are very excited for the next months to come as we are scheduled to go back to perform in China and on several different tropical islands.  We are always excited about such opportunities and can’t wait for a little fun at the beach.

If you would like to see more pictures from some of the events described above, please go to www.myspace.com/Alizma3 where we regularly post new photos.  Also please don’t forget to become our myspace friend.

Until next time,

Bye Bye Bye

October 23, 2007

Time flies.  It has been almost three months since we last updated our diary.  Our lives continue to be as exciting as ever and fascinating in its very own unique way.

Las Vegas is now our new official hometown.  We have been living here since August and have truly enjoyed making the transition from Los Angeles, CA.  We all live together in a beautiful three bedroom house located fifteen minutes from the strip.  We were very fortunate to find such a house with three full bathrooms as this makes it much easier for us since we no longer need to negotiate bathroom time and can always keep our things out!

During our first Vegas month, we signed a management agreement with Farrington Productions, a company located right here.  Our lives have drastically improved as we no longer have to deal with clients directly or negotiate concert fees.  We can finally concentrate purely on performing, writing and practicing.  In the last three months we have been traveling a lot, navigating between different cities, airports and hotels.  Even though we are only still getting used to our new hometown, we are happy to live in such a vibrant entertainment city, undoubtedly the hottest party spot in the world!

We will highlight here some of our performances the last couple of months.  We are still working on adding our calendar page to the website but promise that it will soon be available for your use.  On August 18th, we flew to Reno to perform at the Nikki Beach Club. We performed with a DJ and had a great crowd enjoying the show.  The night was a lot of fun! You can view the promotional poster on our myspace.  On August 31st we got to perform on WGN morning show in Chicago.  September 1st and 2nd were fun as on both days we entertained the crowd at the Taste of Polonia, Polish-American festival in Chicago.  On September 3rd we sang and played on Jerry Lewis Telethon.  It was a beautiful event and we were happy to be involved in making a difference and raising funds for the MDA.  On September 5th we played at Las Vegas Caesars Palace for GM of Mexico.  On September 24th we returned to Chicago.  This time we played at a Motivation conference, a four day event for hotel and travel industry.  From Chicago we went to Columbus, Ohio where we performed at a gala for human genetics research at Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.  Staying in Columbus was fun and very interesting.  We have never been to a town more focused and supportive towards college football.  While in Columbus we did not meet even one person that was not a great fan of Ohio State Buckeye football.  From Ohio, we flew to Florida where we performed for the Ritz Carlton headquarters meeting in Amelia Island.  As we awaited our performance, we had a couple of days off to enjoy the island, beach and the wonderful service of the hotel.  We came back to Vegas for one day and on October 5th left to San Diego where we performed at the opening of a beautiful resort, The Grand Del Mar.  On October 10th we went to Atlantic City to perform at Trump Taj Mahal.  The event held was mostly for press and media and featured pieces from Ivanka Trump new jewelry line.  While in Atlantic City we got to enjoy the city and visited with our friends from the east coast.  On October 13th, shortly after our return to Las Vegas, we got to perform at an Age of Chivalry Renaissance Festival.  Here we performed a specially selected repertoire to fit the needs of the festival.  It was a fun event as we got to wear Celtic dresses.  We felt as though we were five years old again and pretended to be princesses.  The next day, with a different repertoire and even more different attire, we performed at a Tony Bennett Benefit for Underprivileged Youth.  The event was hosted by Clint Holmes and was held at Tao in the Venetian Hotel& Casino.  We were very happy to personally meet Tony.  You can view a picture of us together located under photos on our website.  On October 16th we played at a corporate event in La Quinta Resort and Club in Palm Desert.  On October 21st we woke up early to perform at an early business brunch at Pinot Brasserie at the Venetian.  On October 24th we will be leaving for China.  We will be performing in Hong Kong. We are especially excited about this opportunity as this will be our first time to Asia.

During time off we practice the violin, rehearse vocals, write music and work out.  We are continually working on adding new repertoire to our show as well as adding new choreography.  Since we have moved to Las Vegas, we have had an opportunity to work with Digo Padovan, who is an amazing choreographer, Olympic athlete and a wonderful dancer.  We also continually work with Blair Farrington, our manager, who is a professional dancer and a also great choreographer and is always there for us.  Also, just recently, we have begun playing guitar.  Perhaps soon we will be able to add this instrument to our performance routine as guitar seems to be an easy version of the violin and we are quickly learning how to play it. Besides working hard, on our days off, we take time to enjoy many of the wonderful events Las Vegas has to offer.  We went to a Fantasy Calendar Release Party; Las Vegas Prom organized by the Las Vegas club industry, and had an opportunity to see again some amazing Las Vegas shows.  We were most blown away by Elton John’s performance at Caesar’s Palace.  We had great seats right up front and had a rare opportunity to dance on stage as Elton allowed the first three rows from the audience to come up and join him.  Just recently we also got to go to a sold-out Jimmy Buffet show at the MGM Arena.  Wow!!! What an experience!!!! We have never seen more people dressed up in Hawaiian shirts, wearing straw hats and drinking alcoholic beverages all gathered in one place.  In the last few weeks we also got to see Sugar Ray play at the Mandalay Bay beach Rock & Roll Wine Tasting.  We also got to see one of the Cirque de Soleil shows, Zumanity and a beautiful Phantom of The Opera.  We still have many more shows to see but we are definitely enjoying all the beautiful sides of Las Vegas, amazing restaurants and cool clubs.  You can view pictures of some of the parties we have attended located on our myspace.

These are most recent updates on our lives,

And in case you were wondering if we are related, we are sisters and we are triplets and we are ALIZMA.

Stay tuned as there is more to come,

Bye, Bye, Bye,
Until next time,

Alizma

 

It is July 31st, 2007...

            All three of us are sitting together and brainstorming on what to write in our new diary entry. To avoid arguments Aleksandra is designated to write while Izabela and Monika are thinking out loud and trying to bring back the memories of the last three months.

First we want to let you know we have finally completed our graduate studies at Azusa Pacific University in California and are now officially Masters of Music in Violin Performance. We are very grateful for this opportunity and are now looking to the future as our true adult lives have just begun. The past two years have been a true blessing to us. We have met many amazing people at the university from students to professors who have been an inspiration to us. It was an honor to be a part of the APU family.

Inspired by people, entertainment, and the city itself, we have decided to continue the story of our lives in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tomorrow, on August 1st, we are making an official move to the Sin City. As we are sitting here and thinking we have realized that we have had the privilege to live in so many interesting places around the world. We have lived in Poland, in the city of Warsaw, Zagan, and Wroclaw. While in the U.S. we lived in Rochester NY, Dallas TX, Wilmington DE, Winchester VA, Los Angeles CA, all while at least spending a year of our lives in those wonderful places. We did spend one summer living in West Village in NYC but have never lived in Las Vegas. Read our next diary entry to find out the new episodes from our lives as we promise to keep you posted.

Between May and June we had an opportunity to see three amazing music shows ironically all in Las Vegas. On May 15th we went to the Country Music Awards. We all had great seats right on the floor next to all the country music stars (thank you Don) and we truly enjoyed all the performances. Our favorite was Martina McBride who took our breathe away with the song “Anyway”. The next day we went to see Celine Dion perform at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Again we were not disappointed. Celine’s performance from her songs to the choreography were truly amazing. Everyone should see it before the show ends in December. At the beginning of June we had an opportunity to see Toni Braxton: Revealed, at the Flamingo. Toni put on a beautiful performance the show was both fun and personal. We admired her signing and dancing along with her ability to interact with the audience.

In July we went to Poland for three weeks. We got to perform at a variety of local music festivals and as always spent a lot of time visiting with our family. We enjoyed eating Polish food and the change of culture. We all agree that traveling and changing the environment keeps us healthy and teaches us to appreciate even little things which unknowingly could be taken for granted.

On the eleventh of July, after our return from Poland, we had the opportunity to perform at the Celebrity Golf Tournament in Lake Tahoe. While in Tahoe we got to enjoy the beautiful views of the lake and the mountains. We also got to visit San Jose on our way to Tahoe as that was where the rehearsals for the show where held. Our job as musicians is so fun because we get to visit places in which we wouldn’t normally get to see if it wasn’t for music.

A few days later we went to San Diego where we performed short classical recitals for Beckman Coulter, Inc. at a medical convention. Once again we got to meet many interesting people from all over the world. We also learned that a lot of people who work in the medical field have a great appreciation for classical music. On July 28th we performed at a concert held at the Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe. As always we enjoyed performing at the show.

As you can see many of the shows we perform at are closed events, but we hope that in the near future we will have the opportunity to perform at more festivals and other venues open to the public. In fact, on September 1st and 2nd we will be performing in Chicago at a musical Festival “Taste of Polonia” organized by the Chicago Polish community. It is an open event and everyone is welcome. There will be also other musical artists performing and it will be headlined by Natalia Kukulska who is an established Polish artist.

By the way, we invite all of you to listen to our newest songs if you have not yet had the opportunity to do so. On July 22nd we have learned that Fergie had a #1 song in the USA on the American Countdown. The song, “Big Girls Don’t Cry” was co-written and produced by Toby Gad, a very talented musician/producer who we had the privilege to work with a few months ago on our latest songs. Songs #1 and 4 posted on our website, “All the boys” and “Waiting for You” were both co-written and produced by Toby. Songs #2 and 3, “Wasn’t you”, and Take your time” were co-written and produced by Jens Gad, Toby’s brother, who is also a very talented musician/producer and has produced Enigma records for the last ten years as well as many other very successful records. If you have never heard about these guys check them out and listen to our songs as they were produced by some of the best producers out there and we co-wrote all the songs with them.

Stay tuned as there is more to come....

Until next time

Yours,

Alizma

Hello everyone,

Last time we wrote we were getting ready to perform at the Academy Awards Governor’s Ball. We had a blast playing at the event. We received a great response from the audience and were asked to perform at other award balls this year.

A week later, on March 3rd, we performed the national anthem for Kings at Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA. We enjoyed it very much and hope to return there to play a show of our own one day. Performing there is not as scary as one could think it was but it is definitely very exciting.

On March 13 we headed to Hanover, Germany where we performed 28 shows. We mostly sang and played our original songs and pieces. As always we had a great time visiting Europe and most of all it was great to see our parents and have them watch several of our shows.

A few days after we returned from Germany we left Los Angeles to go to New York where we worked on finishing up a couple of tracks with two amazing and very talented producers who like us are a family because they are brothers. We have posted a sample of our new songs on our website under Music. We invite you to listen to the new songs and if you wish you may write us an e-mail and let us know what you think of it. Don’t forget to mention your favorite song.

On April 6th, several days after we returned to Los Angeles, we were invited to perform a 45 minute showcase at Cesar’s Palace Cleopatra’s Barge in Las Vegas. We had a great time performing in Vegas and hope to return there more often.

We are approaching the end of April and are getting ready for our solo graduate recitals which are coming up on May 1st . We have been spending many intense hours in practice rooms each individually preparing works by composers such as Ludwig van Beethoven, W. A. Mozart, Tomasso Vitali, Henryk Wieniawski, Pablo de Sarasate, John Williams, Edward Grieg as well as our original compositions.

We are very excited and proud to soon graduate with our Masters from Azusa Pacific University. Unfortunately we will not be attending the graduation ceremony as on May 5th we will be in Chicago performing at the Polish Constitution Day Festival, “Poland on the Pier”. If you live in Chicago don’t forget to come to the festival and enjoy good music played by different bands from Poland and the U.S. as well as take the opportunity to enjoy good Polish food.

These are all the updates for now,
We will keep you posted,

A lot has happened since November....we had a lot of fun performing in Germany and while in Europe we got to go home for one day. It was a short but precious time, we got to see our parents and spend a night in our home in Poland. December was fun...we completed another semester of graduate school. As usual around the festive part of the year we get to perform at numerous Christmas shows which we enjoy very much.  We welcomed the New Year's on stage playing a show in Laguna. It was great to be able to celebrate on stage with many other musicians...what an incredible feeling... of course we did not forget to enjoy the New Year's Champagne.

On January 27th we got to perform the National Anthem at the Phoenix Coyotes hockey game against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Phoenix, AZ. The crowd seemed to enjoy our version of the national anthem and cheered long after we were done. For those who are wondering, we did not have to ice skate while playing, there was a red carpet unrolled on the ice for our performance.

In the week of January 29 - February 2, 2007 we got to perform in a series of concerts celebrating the works of Mozart. All of the concerts were hosted at our University (APU) and were part of the Mozart Music Festival. We were very happy to perform the only ever written trio by Mozart for three violins as well as many other pieces within APU orchestra.

On February 14th we got to share our gift of music with other people as we entertained the crowed with beautiful love songs.  Happy Late Valentine's to those who are reading our diary entry and especially to those single ones out there.

In just a few days and exactly on February 25th we > will perform at the Governor's Ball/Oscar's After Party. We are very excited about this opportunity.  Maybe we'll get to meet Arnold Schwarzenegger....we have a lot in common taking under consideration we're all European and have an accent.  At the event we will be playing two of our original pieces as well as many well known movie themes. 

In March we will be going to Hanover, Germany to perform at CeBit Expo the biggest trade conferenceheld in Europe. We are very excited especially because we will get to see our parents while visiting Europe.

As for right now these are all the updates,

Stay tuned,

Until Next Time,

Bye-Bye-Bye,

Hello,

Can't believe it's already November…

It is hard to believe that three months have passed since our last diary entry.

We are getting ready for our individual graduate recitals which are the requirement for our Master's program. It feels like we just graduated and are about to graduate again. This time we'll graduate in the spring.

Over Halloween we went to Las Vegas for the taping of the VH-1 Classic Rock N Roll Celebrity Poker Tournament. We played on a music track that will be used by the show when it airs in February, so watch out for the show when it airs! While in Las Vegas we got to meet a lot of cool people from rock stars to professional athletes and news reporters….had a lot of fun, danced and partied every night.

In a couple of weeks we will be going to Germany to perform. While there we'll perform at half time of a basketball game, trade conference and our last performance will be part of the Christmas celebrations held by one of the German companies. We are very excited because we will most likely see our parents while in Europe. It's always wonderful to see them since we live so far away we don't have an opportunity to see them very often.

Lastly we want to let you know we have composed some beautiful new songs. We each wrote many songs and are now in the process of co-writing and choosing our favorite. We are in the process of going over songs and making some adjustments so we are happy with their sound and form. When we record a couple of them professionally we'll put them on our website to get some feedback from you. So please watch out for our new songs!

As for right now bye-bye-bye

Until Next Time,

Yours,

ALIZMA

Hello everyone,

We are writing to you from Poland where we are surrounded by friends and family and enjoying our summer vacation.

Before we left the U.S. we performed at three Polish-American music festivals. Every one of our performances was a success and we truly enjoyed performing at all of the festivals.

The Syracuse audience amazed us most when hundreds of people welcomed us in the cold and the rain and watched our performance until the show ended. The weather wasn't the best but it did not affect the wonderful atmosphere of the festival.

We made our second stop at the festival in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There again hundreds of people attended our performances. We were greatly surprised by the amount and the variety of musical performances held at the festival. It was fun being a part of this huge event.

Our final stop was at another Polish-American festival in Cheektowaga, New York. We were the only non-Polka band there but the audience seemed to enjoy the stylistical difference of our performances and showed a great appreciation through a standing ovation at the end of our last show.

We thank all of you who supported us at festivals and for the many wonderful e-mails we received after our performances.

God Bless,

ALIZMA

Hello,

It's been a while since our last diary entry but don't worry we did not forget about you all. We've been so busy in the last several months that it just took us a little longer to sit down and think of all the things we've accomplished.

In January, Alizma was cast as the principles in a Chevy commercial. Afterwards, we had the opportunity to join SAG (Screen Actors Guild). Even though we are musicians, we are gaining more and more experience as actresses and it has been a lot of fun working on different television and movie sets.

On July 25th Alizma will be featured on Hannah Montana Television Show on the Disney Channel. The episode has been already taped. We really enjoyed working on set with all the actors and producers. Watch the show to find out the characters that Alizma played.

In the first week of May, Alizma had an opportunity to film a couple of scenes for Robert Englund's new movie, “Killer Pad.” Having the opportunity to work with other actors, producers and directors has been a lot of fun and has definitely been a lifetime experience. “Killer Pad is a horror/comedy that serves up a killer plate of laughs and scares.” Watch out for Killer Pad hopefully in theatres next fall.

As for Alizma's music, we've been spending a lot of time practicing, writing new songs and arranging new material.

We've met with several producers and song writers for the purpose of cooperation which will bring a fresh sound and instrumentation to Alizma's music. We will be going to the recording studio soon to record new material.

We promise we'll keep you updated on our progress,

As for now bye, bye, bye

Until next time,

God bless,

ALIZMA

 

Hello everyone,

Hey, we hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's celebration. We celebrated our New Year performing at the Opening of the Rose Parade with LeAnn Rimes. It was a wonderful experience and a lot of fun. Too bad we got the rain instead of the sun.

As the time flies by we have began second semester of graduate program in violin performance. It's a blast and we thank God for this great opportunity.

We wish everyone Happy Valentine's Day and of course lots of fun at the Superbowl Parties!!

Don't forget our B-Day comes on the same day this year!!!

Until next time,

Your Alizma

 

Hello everyone,

The summer is over and we are back in the United States.
We went home to Poland where we had a great time visiting our family and friends. As always we enjoyed eating a lot of Polish food, although it took us a while getting used to having everyone speaking Polish around us.

Now we are in the US and back to English...

On August 17th we appeared on the talk show "Soap Talk". The show was a lot of fun. We received many e-mails from a lot of you asking how to purchase our CD. We truly appreciate you trying to find our CD but..it is still a working progress. We promise that when the recording is out it will be well advertised on our website.

As for right now we thank you for your support and we love you all.

Until next time,

Your Alizma

 

Hi Guys,

The last few weeks were very exciting for us. We went to Los Angeles, CA where we performed on Steve Harvey's Big Time TV Show featured on WB (on Sundays at 7pm). Thanks to Rick Rock who produced the track to which we were able to write violin parts! A week later we were invited to appear on the show again where we performed our own composition with a track produced by PMG. The piece was an improvisation on Mozart and Beethoven.

We are getting closer to our graduation. It's just few more weeks left until we graduate! We are so happy to graduate one semester early!

Thank you to everyone for visiting our web site!

Until next time,

Your ALIZMA
