Thorwald Jørgensen is one of the leading classical theremin players in the world. After graduating from the Utrecht and Tilburg Conservatory, he quickly established himself as one of the most prominent players of the instrument and made a full time career of playing the instrument. Since the playing technique also resembles that of a string instrument, Thorwald Jørgensen was coached by Saskia Boon, former cellist with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.

 

Lea Valiulina graduated cum laude from the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in 2021 under the supervision of Prof. Peep Lassmann. During her Bachelor's and Master's studies, she furthered her education at the London Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the St Petersburg State Conservatoire.
Lea Valiulina currently performs as a soloist, concertmaster and chamber musician at numerous concerts and festivals.
