A special exhibit at the Franklin Institute:

Saturday, June 29 – 1:30PM
Free with Museum Admission

How did a troop of Russian Boy Scouts become involved in a famous international spying incident?

What Russian spy invented a one-of-a-kind musical instrument, and what amazing thing does his instrument do?

Who was the American spy that was shot down over Soviet air space, and what was his connection to all this?

Find out in LEON THEREMIN’S SECRET WEAPON, hosted by Andrew Baron.

The presentation will include an introduction to Theremin’s secret activities in the early years of the Cold War and feature a live demonstration of The Franklin Institute’s own historic Theremin instrument. The presentation will conclude with a rare opportunity for volunteers from the audience to try their hand at playing, and responses to questions from the audience as time allows.

Andrew Baron is an historian and restorer of Theremin’s rare original instruments, and has conducted research and repairs on The Franklin Institute’s original 1929 Theremin, and Clara Rockmore’s RCA Theremin at the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) in Phoenix, Arizona. He is the co-host of the educational website RCATheremin.com, with his colleague Mike Buffington.
