Lyre 2009 Concert Videos

At the 4th International Lyre Conference “Lyre 2009” in Järna-Sweden 170 lyre players from all over the world gathered for a week of music, workshops and concerts.  

 

Two of those concerts, featuring some of the worlds most prominent lyre players and the Conference Lyre Orchestra consisting of 150 Lyres, were captured on video by Järna video-artist Achilles Nasios.  Achilles selected and edited the documentation material for publication on 4 DVDs, with a total playing time of four hours.

These concert videos are a document of an unique event. But they are also a wonderful addition to the concert experience for those who were present, and an opportunity to share in the event for those who were not. Achilles is an artist and master in his work and has managed to capture the concerts and the players with such detail and intensity that it makes watching these videos into a new, enriching experience.

We are very grateful to Achilles for his help and readiness to step in and take on the documentation of these concerts with such a high degree of professionalism, without knowing whether even his costs would be covered. If enough  DVDs are sold, Achilles can recover a large part of the costs that he has made producing these videos, in terms of the hours and hours of work he has put in and in terms of the costs of the material. So please: do not copy these videos.

The Lyre 2009 concert DVDs may be purchased separately or as a very attractively priced and beautifully produced package of four from Achilles´organisation anikon.org
