Re: what's the size of your klez?

[Pietro <pietronome...>]

Dear folks,
this is partly in reply to Klezmaniac's Lionel Mrocki as it is 
about Australian Klezmer. For the last 2 years our national 
Woodford Folk Festival in Queensland has allowed us to 
stage the The Klezmer Fantazma Orcheztra with 19 & 20 
members. We've also performed in smaller numbers at 
other events.
We have a 5 piece band KaOZ Klezmer which forms the 
basis of the larger group. KaOZ are recording a concert for 
a CD on September the 15th, and an 11 piece version of 
the Orcheztra will be concluding that event.
Are there recordings (other than Klezmer Conservatory) & 
arrangements for large ensmebles available? I've done 
several of my own & intend to post these on our soon to be 
established web site.
Pietro
