Description
Richard Tognetti directs an eclectic program starring Carolina Eyck, the internationally renowned superstar of the theremin.
When Eyck plays, she stands poised, hands aloft, making intricate moves but touching nothing. Out pours a melody that speaks of other worlds. It looks, and sounds, like magic.
The theremin is utterly unique. It’s a sound you’ve definitely heard, even if you’ve never heard of it. Following the success of a sold-out tour of A Clockwork Orange & Beyond comes this series showcasing the range and power of the world’s first electronic instrument.
The theremin can create a thousand different colours and moods. Serenity and beauty, longing and danger, mystery and wonder. From the swinging sounds of The Beach Boys and the unmistakable Star Trek theme, to a new commission from Australian composer Holly Harrison, and closing with the riotous thrumming of the Flight of the Bumblebee, this is a concert full of fun that will take you to other worlds.
