Pamelia Stickney - Solo theremin orchestra

Solo theremin orchestra
Concert
Glitterbox Theater
All Ages $0 / $0

Join us for a rare performance by the Vienna based composer/performer of a very hard-to-describe instrument! After the performance, the audience is welcome to come up close, ask questions and try out the theremin.

Pamelia Stickney has become one of the most sought-after artists of the theremin, performing and recording worldwide with diverse artists such as David Byrne, Simone Dinnerstein, Yoko Ono, Grace Jones, Otto Lechner, Arthur Blythe and most recently with the Cape Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jung-Ho Pak.

Pamelia's background with string instruments and as a jazz bass player influenced her signature playing techniques, expanding the expressive possibilities of the instrument as displayed in her TED Talk.

In 2003, she began to perform her solo “theremin orchestral” pieces in which she composes and/or improvises using looping pedals, which led to her debut solo album “Thinking Out Loud” released on John Zorn's Tzadik label. In 2005, she moved to Vienna and continues to perform her theremin orchestra and incorporate it with her other bands/ensembles/collaborators on both sides of the pond.

$5 - 10 (No one turned away for lack of funds)
