Spooky Sounds: Film Screening and Live Theremin Demonstration

Sunday, November 2, 2025 from 1-3 p.m. — Join IPR and Traverse Area District Library as we present a screening of "The Day the Earth Stood Still."

This unique event celebrates the theremin — one of the world’s first electronic instruments. This groundbreaking creation helped shape the sound of sci-fi films, avant-garde music and modern electronic art.

Attendees will enjoy:

  • 1 p.m.: A hands-on exploration of instruments from TADL's Library of Things
  • A pre-film, live theremin demonstration by local musician Kevin LaRose
  • 2 PM: A screening of the acclaimed film "The Day the Earth Stood Still"

Whether you're a fan of music, film, or the fascinating intersection of physics and art, this event offers a rare opportunity to experience the eerie beauty and cultural legacy of the theremin up close.

This event is free to the public; no tickets required.
