Between them, father-daughter duo San and Emily Slomovits have a long history at The Ark. San has been playing here frequently since 1973 with his brother, Laz, as the duo Gemini. Emily began joining them on stage about ten years ago, when she was just nine. Since then, she’s become an accomplished violinist, having studied classical violin for more than a decade, and has also developed a lovely and unique singing style. She’s performed widely alone and with San, Gemini, and other musicians at The Ark and at many other folk venues and festivals throughout Michigan. Joining San and Emily is bassist Jacob Warren, a U-M music school student and principal bassist in the University Philharmonia Orchestra. In the summer of 2013 Jacob was selected to be a member of the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America and , and toured with that ensemble, conducted by Valery Gergiev, to Washington DC, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and London.
