Theremin: Music of Lightning & Air Monday February 27, 2023
2:00 PM until 3:00 PM
Strange, ghostly music will soon float through the air, otherworldly sounds that could only be described as purely science fiction, vibrating from the world’s oldest electronic instrument, the Theremin!
Since the turn of the 20th century, this bizarre device has been enchanting audiences around the world, from the concert hall to classic rock to the silver screen, as the only instrument on earth played without ever actually being touched. (Midsomer Murder fans will recognize the sounds of the theremin.)
New Hampshire’s own Thereminist C.G. Martiello will present a truly unique musical experience to introduce this instrument in an engaging, educational performance. Part history, part science, part concert, he explores the captivating story of its creation, how it works, and how the Theremin has come to help shape the face of modern sound, hidden in film scores, and a tour of sound effects! Join him for a presentation / concerto, followed by a workshop and Q&A session where you will be able to get a lesson and test this incredible device hands-on!
This free, special event is family-friendly and open to all ages. A perfect start to your winter school vacation week!
Registration is strongly encouraged to guarantee your seat. Caregiver attendance is required for children under age 10.
