Seminar: The Music of Wagner's Ring and the Life Cycle of an Audience

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED
The Wagner Society is pleased to welcome Professor Heath Lees. University professor, broadcaster, writer, and musicologist, Heath Lees is much sought-after for his lecturing skills, especially on anything to do with Wagner.
Twenty years ago Professor Lees and his wife founded the Wagner Society of New Zealand and from there, Heath has now built an international reputation as a dynamic communicator on the subject of music in general and Wagner in particular. In the last two years, Heath has presented his multi-media talks in France, Portugal, Australia and New Zealand. His most recent book is Mallarmé and Wagner: Music and Poetic Language. Professor Lees has also released a 4 DVD set of lectures on Wagner’s Ring.
- Das Rheingold — the early decades of the century,
- Die Walküre — from the 1830s,
- Siegfried as a reflection of the 1860s, and
- Götterdämmerung reaching up to the threshold of the 20th century.
We will enjoy these 4 talks “symposium style” with a box lunch break midway, box lunch is included in your reservation fee. Registration fee is $55 for members of the Wagner Society of Northern California. Non-member registration fee is $65.
