The theremin has become the quintessential sound of science fiction, aliens and all things eerie. Witness a true virtuoso, trained by inventor Léon Theremin himself, work her wizardry on an electronic instrument that sings and swoops without any physical contact.

Concert is performed by members of the Seattle Symphony.

--> LMP CRITIC'S PICK. "A two-week American music festival presented by the SSO, full of wonderful concerts and great variety, with all Benaroya tickets $25. A steal." ~ Philippa Kiraly, classical music critic
