Description

Music On Film: Showcasing inspiring music docs from around the world and special guest speakers selected by The Royal Conservatory.

Wavemakers explores the history of one of the most fascinating and expressive electronic instruments, the Ondes Martenot. A group of Martenot aficionados pursues the legacy of Maurice Martenot (1898–1980), inventor of an instrument as rare and fragile as it is magical. Musicians, artisans and scientists strive to unravel the mysteries of this “Stradivarius of the electronic age.”

In English and French, with English subtitles.

Special guest: Geneviève Grenier will give a brief Ondes Martenot performance following the screening
