Concert tour and Lyre workshops with Jan Braunstein

By Christina Porkert, Kinderhook, NY

In June, Jan Braunstein was touring the Eastern U.S. and many of us were fortunate to participate in his workshops and/or enjoy the concerts. While I had taken the initiative to promote Jan’s visit it wouldn’t have happened without the support of many of you. Thanks to all who helped organize workshops and/or concerts in Kimberton Hills, The Fellowship Community, Camphill Copake, and The Christian Communities in Hillsdale and Detroit. Jan’s concerts raised appreciation of the lyre beyond the expected and I heard also many enthusiastic reports from participants of his workshops. While no concrete plans have been made for a return visit, seeds have been planted and hopefully will sprout into another tour before too long.
