The Theremin Noir trio composes and plays darkly evocative chamber music using the theremin, the early electronic tone synthesizer invented in 1920 and used most famously in Hitchcock film scores and by the Beach Boys in songs such as Good Vibrations.
The trio, including Rob Schwimmer on theremin, pianist Uri Caine, and violinist Sara Caswell, will perform a daring improvised score for a compilation of silent films by Parisian avant-garde artists of the era, including Man Ray, Fernand Leger, Rene Clair, and Marcel Duchamp.
This live program complements the DIA exhibition After Cubism: Modern Art in Paris 1918-1948, on view through January 7, 2024.

This exhibition from the permanent collection will explore what happened “after cubism,” primarily in prints, drawings, and photographs created in France between the years 1918 and 1948.
