DORIT CHRYSLER

The birthday of the theremin

Congratulations to the theremin. 100 years old! On this occasion, you can meet Dorit Chrysler who is recognised worldwide for her skills on the theremin. During the talk she will teach the audience all there is to know about Léon Theremin’s musical invention from 1919. There is something magical about the theremin; it makes music without being touched – no strings, no buttons – only the air around it. Dorit Chrysler illustrates not only the musical wonder, but also the development and understanding of the science of electromagnetism.
