She produced a ten-piece Orchestra Performance at Disney Hall and has played Lincoln Center, Coachella Festival, Roskilde Festival, Karlskirche Vienna, MoMA, the Louisiana Museum, Palais Tokyo Paris, St.Petersburg Hermitage, Venice Biennale, Berlin Biennale, Liverpool Biennale.. She is currently holding a long term Music Residency and curates at Pioneerworks.org, Center For Arts And Innovation where she started KID COOL THEREMIN SCHOOL, America’s first Theremin School. Dorit is an endorsed Moog Artist and has received a grant with the Knightsbridge foundation in collaboration with Adult. She is the current object of a documentary in the making, following her most recent travels to China, Japan, Russia, and Brazil.
KID COOL THEREMIN SCHOOL -- 5pm on the Amoeba stage
In the one-hour Adult Theremin Workshop, participants will be introduced to the technical and practical aspects of the Theremin - an electronic musical instrument that is controlled by the relative position of the player’s hands. Participants will be able to learn and practice the basics of playing the theremin, practicing in small groups and working towards repertoire.
Sign-up for the KID COOL THEREMIN SCHOOL workshop at the Amoeba SF info desk. There are only 10 spots available. These spots will go fast!
Live performance with Dorit Chrysler -- 6:30pm
About the theremin:
Invented 1919 by Russian electro physicist Lev Sergejewitch Termen, the Theremin is the only instrument that generates sound without being touched. Notoriously hard to play, it is one of the first electronic instruments that inspired the creation of synthesizers in future generations.
