Concert

An immersive underground evening of music for full orchestra and theremin, a musical instrument controlled without contact. This début concert from RETROPHONICA celebrates the centenary of the world's earliest successful electronic instrument and the remarkable story of its eponymous inventor, Léon Theremin.

Prepare for an immersive audio-visual experience, complemented by cocktails, lightshow, and narration, featuring original and adapted music for theremin by Dmitri Shostakovich, Bohuslav Martin?, Miklós Rózsa, Les Baxter, Claude Debussy and John Williams, performed by RETROPHONICA with thereminist Charlie Draper, new arrangements and works by Alex Palmer, and bespoke narration from author Ken Hollings.
