Online Sessions: Lyre 2024 Conference

This year, the Lyre Association is excited to be able to offer our summer lyre conference as a hybrid event with an online option for those who are unable to join us in-person in beautiful Copake, NY in August.  The deadline for friends in any part of the world to register to join our conference remotely is August 5. Videos of the main sessions will be available to both in-person and online registrants.

All full-group sessions, special workshops, and our final evening sharing, including the performance of Colin Tanser’s "Everyman”, will be available to view live as well as recorded for future viewing. In order to make it possible for our friends in Europe to consider joining us for all of the recorded sessions, we have switched the order of our afternoon offerings, so that our Large Group with Anna will begin at 3:00 pm EDT. Please note this change on our updated daily schedule.  See the events planned for the conference here: Full Conference Info

The cost to register for our remote option is $100 for both members and non-members and will include copies of the music that will be made available to in-person participants.  The cost is $30 to register for the three workshops at 2:15 pm only (Wed–Fri, Aug 14–16). See: Online Sessions.

Those who gather in person will have the great advantage of being able to fully participate through playing, singing, and making music with others, participating in small lyre groups, browsing through our music store, and the unmatched experience of social sharing; but if for any reason, it is not possible for you to join us in person this summer, we are trying this year to make some level of remote participation possible through this new online option. Please note our new extended Early Bird deadline of July 15 (for in-person participation) and register now to join us either in person or online!
