EPSO Goes to the Movies with music from the 1939 film Juarez and 
Hitchcock’s Spellbound and Vertigo.

The theremin is an electronic musical instrument controlled without physical contact by the thereminist. It was popularized by the Beach Boys “Good Vibrations” and Led Zepplin “Whole Lotta Love.” The sound of the instrument is often associated with eerie situations and has been used in movie soundtracks like Miklós Rózsa Spellbound Suite.   

Rob Schwimmer will perform on theremin in Rózsa Spellbound Suite and Herrmann Vertigo Suite.
