Carolina Eyck has been played on NTS in shows including Bradley Zero Presents: Rhythm Section, featured first on 18 June 2015. Songs played include Echos, Earth And Sky and Fragments.

Carolina Eyck (born 26 December 1987) is a German-Sorbian musician specialising in playing the theremin, an electronic instrument. Her performances around the world have helped to promote the unusual musical instrument. She also plays the viola.

Eyck began learning piano aged five and violin aged six. 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.

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 Art of Playing the Theremin" in which she explained how to make specific hand and finger positions in the air around the instrument without touching it.

In 2006 Eyck was the winner of the International Competition for Composers, presented by Radio/TV Berlin-Brandenburg. In 2010 she graduated from the Royal College of Music, Stockholm after three years of study, with a Bachelor of Music degree in the viola. She has performed with, among others, the Deutsche Streicherphilharmonie.

Since 2010, Eyck has been the artistic director of the Theremin Summer Academy in Colmar, France, and has conducted workshops, lectures and master classes worldwide. She has conducted workshops, lectures and Masterclasses in Germany, Sweden, Poland, Great Britain, the United States of America, Mexico and Japan.

In 2015, Eyck received the German Echo Klassik in the category "Concert Recording of the Year (20th/21st century music)" for playing the theremin concerto "Eight Seasons" by Kalevi Aho, conducted by John Storgårds and played with the Lapland Chamber Orchestra. She released an album of theremin and voice recordings, Elegies for Theremin & Voice, in 2019.
