Dorit Chrysler

Although she works and resides in New York City, Dorit Chrysler was born in Austria. She has a masters degree in music, and has chosen to become a virtuoso on perhaps the most unusual electronic instrument of all--the theremin--which has a distinctive sound perhaps known to most people only for the Beach Boys' Good Vibrations. She is also the founder of the NY theremin society and the European theremin association, creating community platforms for thereminists.
