Recital at the German Residence

June 9, 2015 - 8:00 am

The Wagner Society of Northern California is delighted to announce that we have been invited to present a recital and reception at the German Residence of Consul General Schlueter and his wife Ana Luisa de Carvalho-Schlueter. These special Wagner Society events are delightful, however, this year the recital will be especially exciting.
 
The Society has invited local composer Liam Wade to organize the recital for us and he has gathered a group of superb musicians to perform:
 
WORLD PREMIERE: “The Eve of Waterloo”, composed by Liam Wade text by Lord Byron (tenor, piano)
 
“Full Fathom Five” premiered in 2015 composed by Liam Wade text by Edna St. Vincent Millay (soprano, cello, piano)
 
“Allmacht ger vater, blick herab: Rienzi’s Prayer”  from the opera Rienzi by Richard Wagner
 
“Wintersturme” from Die Walküre by Richard Wagner
 
The musical guests joining us will be Ann Moss, soprano, John Packard, tenor, Emil Miland, cello and Marcus Pawlik, piano. (pictured above from left to right)
 
There is a fee for this event. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. sharp, NO early-birds
 
BY INVITATION ONLY: This event is limited to dues-paid members only. Non-members will be permitted only if space permits.
 
Invitations will be mailed very soon, be certain to act quickly as the seating is quite limited and German Residence events fill up quickly.
