Lydia Kavina, Theremin virtuoso, played to a packed house at the large
auditorium of the Ethical Culture Society in New York City.

It was a very large and enthusiastic crowd. A few quasi-pop pieces,
like the soundtrack to the recent "Ed Wood" movie... mixed in with
modern works...

I was also very fortunate in having Ms. Kavina perform one of my own
pieces "Wuuuu" for solo Theremin in Lincoln Center as part of the
electronic Festival. This was at a lecture-demonstration with
electronic "luminaries" Bob Moog and Don Buchla in attendance...

Is there any more "microtonal" instrument than the Theremin? Hard to
top... since there is no "physical" interface present!
