This event will bring together a dozen players, creating lush and ominous waves of sound in a new piece by composer Alexa Dexa. This event will be sponsored by Moog, and after the performance, audience members will have opportunities to try out Moog's amazing new theremini, an easier-to-learn version of the theremin.
