The last six months have been like an archaeological dig, unearthing hundreds of items that detail the
life and career of thereminist/concert pianist and teacher, Juliet Shaw. As a contemporary of all the
famous thereminists from the 1930s, 40s and 50s and 60s, Juliet Shaw was concertizing, sponsoring musical
events, recording her own concerts, granting TV and radio interviews. Yet, she is virtually unknown
beyond a short bio and two theremin selections on her school’s website. Why?
The answer to that question begins with introducing the Juliet Shaw Legacy Project. This is a fundraising
effort that ought to be of great interest to any thereminist, theremin enthusiast, electro-musician
or lovers of electronic music. There are tens of thousands of you out there! And you can be a part of it.
Juliet Shaw’s legacy is arguably the most significant news in (and addition to) the history of the
theremin that has surfaced in decades. Visit the website at: jshawlegacy.com and make a donation. Help us to
finally bring Juliet Shaw’s legacy out of 70 years in the shadows and into the spotlight.
