Theremin and Piano

CAROLINA EYCK AND CHRISTOPHER TARNOW

Carolina Eyck and Christopher Tarnow are one of the world's few chamber music ensembles for theremin and piano, performing together since 2013. They played at the "Festival Mitte Europa", the "Festival for Contemporary Music" of the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and at the Caramoor Festival in New York, among others. In 2014 they will release a CD with improvisations under the independent label Butterscotch Records, New York. One of their main concerns is the expansion of the classical repertoire for their instruments. Their first step was to compose and to perform the world's first sonata for theremin and piano (Christopher Tarnow - Sonata for Theremin and Piano, 2013), laying the foundation for their future endeavours.
