LONG LIVE THEREMIN - Concert With Theremin Virtuoso Lydia Kavina
Join us at the Musical Museum for a very special evening celebrating the life, music, and remarkable legacy of Léon Theremin, inventor of the world's first electronic musical instrument. This year marks the 130th anniversary of his birth, making it the perfect opportunity to celebrate his extraordinary musical achievements and lasting influence.
The concert stars world-renowned theremin virtuoso Lydia Kavina, one of the world's foremost theremin performers. Lydia was taught by Léon Theremin himself, who was both her mentor and relative, and throughout her distinguished career has performed at many of the world's leading concert halls.
The programme features a wonderful selection of classical favourites and popular repertoire, showcasing the theremin in a variety of musical styles.
Lydia will be joined by pianist Maki Sekiya, providing live piano accompaniment, while the museum's Resident Organist Richard Hills accompanies the theremin on the magnificent Mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ. The concert will also feature the museum's fascinating Duo-Art reproducing piano, with historic music rolls accompanying the theremin—creating a truly unique musical experience that can only be heard at the Musical Museum.
Alongside the music, the evening will celebrate the fascinating history of Léon Theremin and the remarkable story of the instrument he created, making this an event for music lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone curious about one of the most captivating instruments ever invented.
