New Haven, CT: Theremin Appearance

While primarily an organ recital, I will perform a theremin-guitar work as part of this free event at Christ Church, New Haven on Friday May 8th.

I hope all goes well for you!
When clicking the link to your site I'm just getting an error message - but this may be the fault of my rather old and weary computer.

The links working for me. Very nice announcement and interesting program.
Hope it's a hit and successful therevangelism!

jerrymartin79 Please let us know how it goes, and especially more about the new works you're performing.
Very exciting.

Thanks for the kind words.

Some of the organ classics will be there, but the new arrangements include:

Rachmaninoff Prelude in C# min (arr for organ solo)

Rodrigo: Concerto Aranjuez (adagio) (arr for organ /guitar)

And of course the thereimn will feature in the guitar combo: Aria/Bachianas No. 5 - Villa Lobos.

I will hopefully have some recordings available closer to the time.

Well here are the results! The concert was a success. The theremin piece drew quite a few compliments, and perplexed looks.

You can have a listen here:

It turns out playing a theremin in a reverberant space is a little more difficult than you might expect - the tuning that "they" here is quite different to what you hear close to the theremin.
