==Musical history==
The theremin concerto "Dancefloor With Pulsing" by the French composer [[Regis Campo]] was written for Eyck and premiered with the Brussels Philharmonic in 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.arsmusica.be/nl/events/brussels-philharmonic-plays-zorn-zappa-campo-constant-openingsconcert/|title=Brussels Philharmonic plays Zorn, Zappa, Campo & Constant (Openingsconcert) {{pipe}} ARS Musica|first=A.

Eyck began learning piano aged five and violin aged six.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.allmusic.com?artist/carolina-eyck-mn0003224426 |title=Carolina Eyck biography |author=James Manheim}}</ref> She began studying the theremin at the age of seven at a school for musically gifted children in Berlin, where she was taught by a niece of [[Leon Theremin]], the inventor of the instrument. She studied composition, and one of her pieces won first prize in a competition for young composers. A [[concerto]] for [[accordion]] and orchestra also won awards.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.carolinaeyck.com/biography |title= Biography of Carolina Eyck }}</ref>
 
At the age of 16, Eyck invented a new and precise way to play the theremin using exact finger positions. Three years later in 2006, aged 19, she wrote and published the first comprehensive tutor, "The Art of Playing the Theremin", for the instrument,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.carolinaeyck.com/biography |title= Biography of Carolina Eyck }}</ref> in which she explained how to make specific hand and finger positions in the air around the instrument without touching it.<ref>{{Cite web |date=30 October 2018 |title=Video: Carolina Eyck Explains How to Play the Theremin and Performs a Haunting Tune |url=https://reverb.com/news/video-carolina-eyck-explains-how-to-play-the-theremin-and-performs-a-halloween-inspired-tune |accessdate=31 May 2019 |website=reverb.com}}</ref>
 
Eyck made her debut as a player of the theremin with the [[Berlin Philharmonic]] in 2002, and was subsequently invited to the Bohuslav Martinu International Music Festival in [[Basel]], the [[Davos]] Festival (Switzerland), the [[Konzerthaus Berlin]], the [[Großes Festspielhaus]] Salzburg (Austria), the [[Teatro Nacional (Lisbon)|Teatro Nacional Lisbon (Portugal)]] and the [[Palace of Arts (Budapest)|Palace of Arts Budapest]].
