Alex Meixner's performing
career as an accordionist began at the age of six, playing with his family
in a multi-ethnic folk ensemble. Since these primary performances, Alex has
been featured as a soloist at venues from Las Vegas to New York City, from
Orlando to Branson, and has performed at many festivals, resorts and concert
halls in between. He has shared the stage with such diverse artists as The
London Symphony Orchestra, Sandy Duncan, Myron Floren, Brave Combo, Don
Lipovac, Frank Yankovic and his father's touring group "The Al Meixner
Trio," as well as his own jazz and folk ensembles. Alex has performed on
over 35 recordings to date, including numerous solo recordings on Euro-Class
Music and a 1994 Grammy-award winner.
Alex's performance repertoire on accordions
includes a wide variety of traditional and contemporary folk styles from
Slavic and alpine cultures, jazz and pop selections, as well as his
trademark high-energy button box polka stylings.
He has a brand new CD, which will be
available at the festival, entitled, "Alex Plays the Button Box and Other
Stuff." For more information on Alex's performances and recordings check out
