Renowned as a premier thereminist, musician/composer Dorit Chrysler has had a prolific career as a vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist, producer, and engineer. Chrysler made her professional debut at the age of seven at Austria's Opera House Graz. She has since gone on to collaborate with the likes of Elliot Sharp, Chicks on Speed, Matt Johnson (The The), Cluster, and Gibby Haynes, amongst many others. Chrysler has also written scores for several of Jesper Just's films. Of Chrysler, Ann Magnuson exclaims, "A wizard! A true theremin star! Imagine if Marianne Faithfull and Nikola Tesla had a love child, with Jane Birkin as the nanny and Bjork as the wayward Girl Scout leader!" Dorit Chrysler comes to Detroit via support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, as part of ADULT. Detroit House Guests, a Detroit Arts Challenge project.
