GENERATIONS OF MICHIGAN MUSIC

The father-daughter duo of San and Emily Slomovits have been
playing music together since Emily was a young child. San, along
with his brother Laz, as the duo Gemini, have been a highly popular
folk act throughout Michigan since 1973, and Emily began joining
them on stage when she was just 7 years old. Now 23, Emily is an
accomplished violinist, having studied classical violin for more than
a decade, and has also developed a lovely and unique singing style.
Their beautifully blended harmony vocals and exciting instrumental
work breathe new life into a wide variety of American and inter-
national music, from folk to classical, klezmer to Broadway show
tunes, traditional to contemporary. Special guests tonight at 7:30
p.m. at the Ark in Ann Arbor are the duo of bassist Jacob Warren
(who has often appeared with San and Emily) and pianist/composer
Brian Brill. Tickets are $20; sanemilyandjacob.com.
