Carolina Eyck recently made history as the first artist to bring a theremin to the renowned Tiny Desk concert series. The theremin, an early electronic instrument known for its unique sound, is played without physical touch by manipulating electromagnetic fields with hand movements. Eyck's performance at Tiny Desk showcased her unparalleled virtuosity and innovative playing style, captivating the audience with pieces like her original composition "Delphic."

Eyck, a German-Sorb musician and composer born in 1987, is celebrated as one of the leading experts in theremin playing. Her skill and artistry have led to collaborations with prominent composers who have written concertos specifically for her. Eyck's significant contributions to the theremin world include developing a new precise playing technique and authoring the first comprehensive theremin tutor book.

This Tiny Desk concert not only highlighted Eyck's remarkable talent but also served as a platform to introduce the audience to the enchanting and unconventional world of theremin music. Eyck's performance was marked by her lyrical phrasing and intricate finger articulation, showcasing the theremin's sonic potential in a mesmerizing way that left a lasting impression on all those in attendance.
