Gemini joins voices with local kids choir for library concert

Gemini, twin brother musicians Sandor and Laszlo Slomovits, will be performing a free concert for the
whole family on Thursday at 11 a.m. at the Wood County District Public Library.
They will be joined by the library’s Summer Singers, a group of children that have been singing together
each week this summer as part of the summer reading program, "One World, Many Stories." This
concert is generously supported by the Friends of the Library.
Gemini’s shows feature original songs about the everyday experiences of childhood and growing up.
Gemini has been performing since 1973, the duo has performed to audiences at concert halls, festivals,
community centers and elementary schools throughout the US and Canada.
Recently they’ve started performing with orchestras in the region.
Since 1979 Gemini has released numerous recordings for adults and children and families. These recordings
have won awards including from Parents’ Choice Magazine, the American Library Association, the National
Parenting Publications, Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts and American Society of
Composers, Authors and Publishers.
"Fancy That!" their first video, was voted one of the Top 10 children’s videos by the American
Library Association and Random House in their book "1992 Best of the Best."
Since 1993, the Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation has published Gemini’s first songbook, and two musical
revues for elementary schools based on Gemini’s songs.
In 2004, one of their songs was used in the "Ellen DeGeneres Show," and most recently, several
of their songs were included in a new music education textbook.
Gemini’s newest recording, released in April 2010, is "Once Upon a Time… The Storytelling
Album," featuring folk tales from around the world, with musical elements added to each story. This
CD also features "Perfect Pitch," a new story by San, which includes original orchestral music
interspersed throughout.
