What you missed at the 2023 Seminars
Main Seminar Room
In 2023 we presented three very special talks.
From Leon Theremin to Bob Moog
We are privileged to present a talk by Lydia Kavina who was taught by Leon Theremin himself and represents a living connection back to the inventor. Lydia will demonstrate the T-vox and Claravox instruments and then be joined by Roy Palmer who will demonstrate the Moog Theremini with its library of sounds and MIDI control.
The talk will end with a prize draw when one lucky member of the audience will win a Moog Theremini. Be there to get a prize draw ticket!
