I only heard about this this morning, so you've already missed two opportunities to hear it, but the San Diego Chamber Orchestra doing a concert on Friday at St. Paul's Cathedral in downtown San Diego, it says here (http://www.kpbs.org/radio/these_days;id=11128), on the KPBS Radio website, (This includes a radio interview with the thereminist, Scott Paulson, and the composer, Linda Kernohan, and a video of Scott performing on his moog ethervox. He demonstrates a couple of it's voices.)

Concerto For Theremin is a new composition, and the final piece of the concert. The other pieces are not theremin related.

More info about the concert on the San Diego Chamber Orchestra website, here (http://www.sdco.org/concert_surprise_surprise.html).

In the interview Scott states that the theremin on the title music of the TV programme Dark Shadows was actually a tannerin.

(Also, I think Scott was having a bad pitch day, here's hoping he's got over it by Friday.)

And apparently he was "in fine fettle" on Monday - according to this review (http://www.sandiego.com/option,com_sdca/target,b7882251-d8e2-4975-81c8-5d7a20ff2dab/).
