During the 1980s and 1990s, classically-trained street performer Alex Jacobowitz (born May 19, 1960 in New York) played solos on his marimba virtually everywhere in New York City: Lincoln Center's "Meet the Artist" program, Yeshiva University, Zabar´s, Central Park, the 84th Street Synagogue, International House, the New York Hilton, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Coney Island's "Sideshows by the Seashore", etc. For many years he was an Official Street Performer at the South Street Seaport in Lower Manhattan, a member of Musicians Under New York, Young Audiences of Rochester, and other organizations. He has performed at Arts Councils and Imagination Celebrations throughout New York State, and is the recipient of a Meet the Composer award. He has performed on Entertainment Tonight, and has been an artist-in-residence at Artpark (New York) and Holland Village (Japan)

In 1991, he shifted his street-show activity primarily to Europe, from Aachen to Zürich, and most cities in between. Jacobowitz has performed classic and Jewish traditional music for millions of television viewers in Germany (ARD, ZDF, Third Programmes), and occasionally in Hungary, Israel, Italy, Luxemburg, South Korea, Poland, Portugal, Switzerland, Russia and Ukraine.

In 1994, he began the study of traditional Jewish instrumental music (klezmer) with Giora Feidman. In 1997, he encountered Brave Old World in concert, and shortly thereafter intensified his Jewish music activities under Alan Bern, their musical director.

In 2006, he was one of the few street-performers invited to perform at the Busker's Festival in Ferrara, Italy, the largest and most important festival of its kind. He has won competitions in Lucerne (1994), Ludwigsburg (2004) and Osnabrück (2007).
