Claire will talk about the theremin and some other exotic instruments, how they are unusual, and what’s intriguing about them.  Claire will play and you can too.

The theremin, the precursor of electronic music, is capable of the eerie and the endearing, simple but difficult. A briefly mass-produced version was owned and played by Charlie Chaplin, Edward Everett Horton, Harpo Marx, Leopold Stokowski, and more. (http://www.rcatheremin.com/).

Claire teaches voice and piano at the Bennett Conservatory in Croton, and is Assistant Conductor of the Croton Chorale and a member of the CCoA Board.
