Pamelia Kurstin is a world-renowned thereminist who has played and recorded with such prestigious artists as David Byrne and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. She has performed on Saturday Night Live and currently performs solo as well as with the New York-based group, Barbez. Pamelia plays and endorses Moog theremins, exclusively.
