Since moving to Las Vegas, the three blonde bombshells known as the Alizma triplets have captivated the town and our hearts. They play incredible violin performances that range from the classics to the pops. The trio left their home in Poland after winning four-year music scholarships at Shenandoah University in Virginia, and after graduating moved to Las Vegas by way of Los Angeles.

Now they’ve just put together their first major video, and Vegas DeLuxe is proud to display it here:

Since relocating here, they have appeared with Kenny Loggins in concert at The Orleans Arena, at the Rose Bowl Parade with LeAnn Rimes and on several TV shows including Carson Daly’s Last Call and with Montel Williams. They’ve performed privately for Vice President-elect Sen. Joseph Biden’s holiday event and publicly at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Additionally, they have performed at Tao in The Venetian and at the Cathouse lounge in the Luxor.

Born in Poland, the 23-year-old stunners have master’s degrees in violin performance and also specialize in other string instruments and vocals, working with their own music and classical and modern arrangements of familiar stage and screen hits.

They said excitedly: “Las Vegas is now our new official hometown. We have been living here since August and have truly enjoyed making the transition. We all live together in a beautiful three-bedroom house just 15 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!

“Our management agreement with Blair Farrington Productions in Vegas is signed, and our lives have dramatically improved. We can fully concentrate on performing, writing and practicing. Even though we are 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!

“One highlight for us since arriving was to appear on the 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.”

Their mother, Halina, a kindergarten teacher, taught the girls songs even before they could walk, and they were only 3 years old when they had their first public performance. At 6, the young prodigies were playing violin, and 10 years later, they were performing on several Polish national TV shows, which brought them European exposure. They spent one year as exchange students in America and lived with separate host families in Delaware, New York and Dallas.

Back in Poland, they eventually persuaded their parents to let them return Stateside, and they honed their musical skills and polished their English, earning scholarships to the Wilmington Music School, studying violin with Antonio Rincon and jazz improvisation with Diane Monroe. All three then received full, four-year scholarships at Shenandoah University in Winchester, Va., concentrating on violin performance, voice and piano. They graduated a full semester ahead of schedule with bachelor’s degrees in arts management/music. Alizma recorded the theme music for the VH1 Classic Rock & Roll Celebrity Poker Tournament, and they made their acting debut on The Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana.

Now Vegas is home, and 2009 promises major new opportunities as Alizma continues to climb the ladder of showbiz success.
