Item Description
A private one-hour lesson on the Theremin or Electric Violin with NJSO Violinist and Composer Darryl Kubian at his studio in Ridgewood NJ.
On April 7th, 2006, Darryl made his Theremin debut (see photo) with Maestro Neeme Jarvi and the NJSO performing the Cantilena from "Bachianas Brasileiras No.5" by Hector Villa-Lobos. This was done as an encore and was a huge audience hit! Listen to the encore! Besides looking like no other instrument, the theremin is unique in that it is played without being touched. Two antennas protrude from the theremin - one controlling pitch, and the other controlling volume. As a hand approaches the vertical antenna, the pitch gets higher. Approaching the horizontal antenna makes the volume softer.
In 2008, the NJSO gave the world premiere of Darryl's "3-2-1 for Electric and Acoustic Violin and Orchestra". The Star-Ledgerraved "Concerto's Debut is Simply Electric". If you'd like to find out what's it's like to play an electric violin, enter your bid!
Item Special Note
The lesson must be taken within one year of the live event on May 18, 2013.
