A well-known Thereminist can be heard on HBO's recent documentary "Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief".  Their playing can be heard a few times throughout, as well as at the very end, leading into the credits.  I will not reveal who it is just yet, because I thought it might be fun to see if anyone can guess based on their playing.

If you simply need to know, their name is listed near the end of the credits.  Otherwise, I'll probably spill the beans in a few days for those who either don't have access to HBO or would rather not watch an exposé on the Church of Scientology.

I think a week is long enough.  The thereminist is Dorit Chrysler.  An interview with the film's music guy can be found here:

He talks about why he chose the theremin for this project and what he was trying to accomplish with his score.
