Virtual Hands-on History–Hands Off: Touch Not the Theremin
Virtual
Some of us may remember that weird sound made famous in the original Star Trek theme song. That was the sound of the Theremin, the grandfather of all electronic instruments. It remains one of the stranger instruments in sound, function, and history.
Join us in this virtual experience as we explore the origins of the instrument and witness a live, first-hand(less) demonstration of the quirks and quaint sounds of the Free Library’s recent acquisition. Registration is free but required.
