March IMC feature: Theremin
The theremin – one of the most interesting and difficult instruments to play. Â Even more interesting is the story behind it. Â Take a look. Â Or better yet, come down to the IMC and play the theremin M-F, 9a-5p in the music listening room.
The catalog is back.
Problems with the catalog have been resolved. Thank you for your patience.
