  Toward Genuine Tuning: Second Annual Conference, May 8-11, 2008

The second annual Toward Genuine Tuning conference will take place May 8-11, 2008, in Spring Valley, N.Y. (See the report on the first conference on page 3 of these Lyre Notes.) Participants will experience and work with the new way of tuning developed by Maria Renold on the basis of suggestions by Rudolf Steiner. There will be sessions devoted to supervised practical application. Bevis Stevens will again lead the conference, collaborating with Paul Davis and Daniel Hafner.

A special highlight of the second conference will be a performance by The Light Eurythmy ensemble from Dornach, Switzerland. This ensemble specializes in working with a different way of lighting and with plant dyed gowns, veils and curtains, as well as with this new way of tuning musical instruments.

For more information, see the conference brochure and registration form or contact Daniel Hafner at dhafner1964@hotmail.com (773-907-2270) or Laura Langford-Schnur (845-469-2227 or langfordschnur@frontiernet.net).

Courses by Manfred Bleffert in California, Summer 2008

Many of you have experienced the work of Manfred Bleffert through the tones of the gongs and other instruments he has created. For the last thirty years, he has also been working throughout Europe as a composer, musician, painter and sculptor.

In the summer of 2008, Manfred will offer artistic courses in the United States for the first time. From July 28 to August 16, four courses will be held in Santa Rosa: a three-week Music Training and three one-week courses, in Instrument Building, Painting and Sculpture, and Pedagogical Study through the Arts. This innovative artistic work will serve as a vehicle for developing new experiences of the world and one's own humanity. Through contemplative work, each participant will gain deeper insights into the processes and products of the arts. Each course will be a transformative experience!
