Christof-Andreas Lindenberg – composer, author, anthroposophic music pioneer and a founder of LANA, artist, innovator, teacher, mentor, and friend to so many  lyrists and musicians throughout the world – reached his landmark 90th birthday on August 20th, 2022!

Family and local friends at The Camphill School at Beaver Run in Glenmoore, Pennsylvania, where Christof-Andreas has lived as a co-worker and facilitator of anthroposophic music therapy for countless children over the last 30 years, gathered on the day of his birthday to offer tributes and a first sounding of some of his choral and instrumental compositions to celebrate the day. 

The Lyre Association of North America would like to continue and expand this celebration with further tributes and music-making by inviting Christof-Andreas’ former students and colleagues from many parts of the US and the world to consider joining the LANA Board for a celebration concert of Christof-Andreas' music on Saturday, October 15 at 4:00 pm at The Camphill School.  

We are planning a program of many favorite compositions by Christof-Andreas. If you would like to join us, we are inviting potential participants to share your favorite compositions as well, so that we might consider including them on our program.

1. Arrival
   We are inviting friends to arrive on Thursday, October 13th. We plan to have morning and afternoon rehearsals on Friday and a meal together on Friday night. We will then have one additional rehearsal on Saturday morning. A LANA-catered festive lunch and the celebration concert will take place at Beaver Run on Saturday afternoon. There will also be an opportunity for friends to share brief tributes or cameos about your relationship to Christof-Andreas and the influence he has had on your musical path of development.

2. RSVP by September 24th
   An RSVP form is linked below for anyone who is able to join us for this festive weekend of celebration and music-making. We ask that you return this form as soon as possible (by Sept 24th at the latest) so that we can begin making more detailed arrangements. We will then be sending out copies of the final musical selections as well as options for lodging and a more detailed program with times and locations.

3. Please join us!
   The weekend of October 15th is slated to be a time of joyful reunion and celebration, not only of Christof-Andreas’ birthday, but of a community of friends and colleagues who have come to know one another over the years through the intersection of the life, work, and inspiration of Christof-Andreas Lindenberg.

Thanks,
The LANA Board
