Wednesday, July 29 to Sunday, August 2, 2026 in Dornach, Switzerland:
100 Years of the Lyre Impulse – International Festivity Days at the Goetheanum

We would like to warmly welcome all the friends of the international lyre community. Let us come together from as many countries as possible at the Goetheanum, where the lyre was rediscovered as a modern instrument in 1926, in a festive musical gathering, playing and listening and exploring the variety of developments. A letter with further details will follow soon.

Best regards: Stefan Hasler, Viola Heckel and Hanna Koskinen, (Section for the Performing Arts at the Goetheanum), Susann Temperli (Leier Network Switzerland), and Christian Giersch (Leier Forum Germany)
