22nd at 2:30pm and Sunday, July 27th at 2:30pm, Sean and Karen
Slavin will perform an interactive performance for kids and parents in 'the Listening
Room' at the Lakeside Legacy Arts Park in Crystal Lake, IL. Dance, sway, move,
and groove. Connect with your child through music! The Slavins play children's
favorites for the kids, which makes it a rockin' good time for the entire
family. Tickets are free for babies (if you don't walk, you don't pay), $5.00
for kids, and $10.00 for parents. This concert is designed for children from age
0 to age 10. To reserve your tickets today, visit www.LakesideLegacy.org or
call 815-455-8000. Siobhan Cottone, Lakeside's Executive Director said,
"We are so excited to have the Slavins back in 'the Listening Room' to do
interactive performances for children! We had a great turn out for the first
concert and we are excited to watch family programming grow." During the
first 'Swing Set' concert the entire audience, young and old, were on their
feet dancing and singing. Toddlers were shaking maracas and kids were dancing
in front of the stage!



 



A child's
connection to the arts is extremely beneficial to their learning process. The
arts are proven to enhance child development and exposing them to these types
of interactive programming would only yield positive results to a child. Roger
Reupert, House Manager of 'the Listening Room', stated, "Karen and Sean
Slavin both understand the importance of these types of children's art programs
and have built a show where kids are engaged and benefiting at the same time.
They are a high energy duo that connects very well to kids!" Together,
husband/wife duo Sean and Karen have had FM radio as well as various internet
radio stations playing their songs from 2013 released CD,
Moodswings.  Karen has been featured on Old Town School of Folk
Music's CD, "Love You", as well as teaching Wiggleworms classes at
the famed music institution in Chicago.  They have both performed on
national television and radio, doing ads, playing in various bands that allowed
sharing of the stage with Violent Femmes and Dean Bernardini of Chevelle, as
well as recording projects separately before joining forces.  The
energy and joy they bring to kids music is refreshing and
exciting.  Come out, connect, de-stress, reflect, be together.
