For all thereminists, theremin enthusiasts, electro-musicians and electronic music lovers. The Juliet
Shaw Legacy Project’s two primary goals are:

 

1) Compile, archive and preserve the vast collection of music and materials that document the 50+
year career of thereminist, concert pianist and teacher, Juliet Shaw.

 

2) Find a permanent home for the entire Juliet Shaw Legacy Collection, an instutition that will house
and preserve it.

Juliet Grace Wolfe Shaw (1903-1994) was a first generation thereminist along with Clara Rockmore,
Lucie Rosen, Lennington Shewell, Julius Goldberg, H. Whipple Abbot, Zenaide Hanenfeldt, and
Samuel J. Hoffman.

 

Juliet Shaw’s life and career were almost totally forgotten until Sandra Shaw Murphy, Juliet’s daughter,
unearthed an astonishing amount of her mother’s collected materials. There are dozens of hours of
recorded music, hundreds of photos, articles, concert programs, handwritten lectures, correspondence
and more.

 

Your donation counts! All proceeds go directly to the preservation and archiving everything in the
collection, as well as covering the fees for professional mastering of Juliet Shaw’s recordings.

 

No donation is too small, however, anyone donating $20 or more will receive volume one of
Music in the Air – The Artistry of Thereminist, Juliet Shaw. With theremin performances dating back as
far as 80 years, this is the first collection of Juliet Shaw’s music ever to be released.
