A spaceship hovers high on the big screen. Eerie music wafts in like ectoplasm filling a room. It’s strange and foreboding, like the sound of a disembodied voice, a soprano’s ample vibrato – minus the soprano. That ghostly music is the sound of the theremin, one of the world’s first electronic musical instruments. This weekend the theremin steps out of the movie theater and into the concert hall when the Central Ohio Symphony and thereminist Caroline Scruggs perform the world premiere of the Concerto for Theremin and Chamber Orchestra by composer Linda Kernohan. Classical 101’s Jennifer Hambrick interviewed Linda Kernohan about her unique history with the theremin and her concerto’s long voyage from far, far away to its premiere in central Ohio. </video>
