Euchore Ensemble

This autumn, the Euchore eurythmy ensemble will continue with its studies of Lili Reinitzer forms based on the work of **Annemarie Dubach-Donath.

Euchore is an international ensemble. Some of the eurythmists join the rehearsals in Dornach (CH) from northern Germany, Munich in the south of Germany, Avignon in France and other places in Europe. The fact that the group continues to be active is owed to eurythmists who used to work personally with its founder, Lili Reinitzer. Before her death in 2017, Lili Reinitzer entrusted to their care Josef Gunzinger’s symphonic composition Saturn.

The Euchore Ensemble grew out of the «Studies for the extension of artistic eurythmy» which Lili Reinitzer began to offer in Dornach in 1982 as a professional development opportunity for qualified eurythmists. The training focused mainly on the spatial structure of the eurythmy forms given by Annemarie Dubach-Donath but also on rhythms, colours, steps and style.

Out of this work the Euchore Ensemble was formed in 1992. One of its central tasks since 1999 has been to work on Josef Gunzinger’s Saturn and Annemarie Dubach-Donath’s silent eurythmic composition Evolution of the Sun, both of which Lili Reinitzer took over from their composers. In addition, Euchore performs almost annually major choral eurythmy works, including Anton Bruckner’s Seventh Symphony.

Following a break, the Ensemble started performing again in 2018. It consists of a core group and other eurythmists who are interested in Annemarie Dubach-Donath’s forms. This autumn, two members of the Ensemble will also take up the studies again.
