Evening Program
Into the Heart’s Unknown

How can we become beings more capable of love in our conflicted world? Do we dare to be refashioned, surrendered, ennobled? Through the resonant words of poets Mary Oliver, T.S. Eliot, Denise Levertov, D.H. Lawrence, and Antonio Machado, the main theme of Into the Heart’s Unknown brings us again and again to the threshold of transformation, inviting us to consider the harsh, unexpected, and ultimately divine elements at work in the passage of our becoming. From the first initiatory call to risk everything to the necessity of surrender in the face of powerlessness, this program leads us through an inner unfolding into a recognition of the heart’s high calling. Our theme is echoed and enhanced by music from Peter Sculthorpe, Samuel Barber, György Kurtag, Zoltán Kodály, and Jean Sibelius.

The nature of love is further elaborated in the second half through a whimsical charade of temperamental relationships—the requited, the unrequited, and the somewhat ridiculous—with an opening foray into Shakespeare’s fairy kingdom.

The program concludes with the grand and beloved Ballade in G minor by Frédéric Chopin.

Children’s Matinée
The Lady and the Lion

In the fairy tale The Lady and the Lion by the Brothers Grimm, we are invited into the magical journey of the courageous Lady, whose quest to save her father’s life leads her to the castle of a fierce lion. After seven years of trials, her open heart and bright spirit free the Lion from his enchantment. This story is woven throughout with music by Marcus Macauley, accompanied by a verse for children by Paul King, and a short tone eurythmy piece by Mozart.

About Eurythmy Spring Valley Ensemble

Founded in New York in 1986, Eurythmy Spring Valley Ensemble is one of the most active performing ensembles in the world. For over 33 years, the Ensemble has continuously connected to new audiences in America, Asia, and Europe, giving access through eurythmy to the ineffable dimension that lives beyond words, tones, and the visible world.
