With composers Nigel Osborne, Howard Skempton and Jinny Shaw
Together with Maren Stott and Eurythmy West Midlands

In the centenary year of Rudolf Steiner’s death, this Festival celebrates the dynamic relationship between Music and Eurythmy.    

Eurythmy, an expressive movement art, was originated by Rudolf Steiner in the early 20th century. The word eurythmy stems from Greek roots meaning beautiful or harmonious rhythm. A eurythmy performer moves the music itself, the inner dynamic, the emotional expressiveness. In an ensemble, the interplay of the instruments, the piece itself, is present before your eyes.
