Peter Theremin

Peter Theremin is a Russian composer and performer of the theremin, an electronic musical instrument invented by his great-grandfather, Leon Theremin. Born in 1991, Peter is deeply involved in preserving and promoting the theremin's legacy. He is the head of the Russian Theremin School and has organized the festival of theremin culture known as "Thereminology." Peter also created the first Russian-language portal about the theremin, "Theremin Times." His work spans genres such as classical and contemporary improvised music, and he has given over 1,000 performances across various countries, including Russia, Belarus, France, Ukraine, Germany, Estonia, and Japan.

Peter Theremin has contributed music to several films and projects, including "Lessons of Auschwitz," for which he received notable awards like the Silver medal of the British Creativepool and the Bronze of the American Clio Awards. His music often features the hauntingly human sound of the theremin, blending traditional and modern elements. While his recent releases like "Electrospring," "Equinox," "Timelessness (for Theremin and Synth)," and "Three Vocalises" are not detailed in available information, Peter's dedication to the theremin and electronic music is evident through his extensive performances and educational efforts.
