Theremin Workshop with Lydia Kavina
Pamelia Kurstin will be performing as part of Yoko Ono And The Plastic Ono Band at the Royal Festival Hall on Sunday the fourteenth of June at 7:30pm.

The Beat Frequency Method is now available in hard copy, and it includes a CD of Beat Frequency's first album, The Chordless Chord, for only £8.00 plus postage.
It's a sensibly priced CD with an oversized booklet, or it's an overpriced booklet with a free CD. Either way, it's essential reading and listening for the sonic explorer with a theremin!
