This is a gallery of candid photos taken at the Wagner Society Party held at the German Residence in San Francisco, CA. Our hosts were Consul General Stephan Schlüter and his wife Ana Luisa de Carvalho-Schlüter.
Wagner's 202nd Birthday was celebrated at the Adeline Firehouse Arts Hangar in Berkeley, CA. There the Awesome Orchestra played the music of Wagner, Hector Berlioz and Howard Shore for a packed audience of Wagnerians, Awesome Orchestra fans and casual passersby. The artwork of Cal Pedranti was on display and to top off the event, Little Red Riding Truck provided authentic Bavarian food. An Awesome event in all respects. Thank you to Uta Wagner, Eiko Kikawada, Joan Lam, Bunny Laden, Klaus Krause and Andy Rombakis for photos of the event.
In this gallery, you are able to view the artwork which was created by the Wagner Society's late member Cal Pedranti (1922-2001). These images are contained the Wagner Society publication "Cal Pedranti's Wagner" and many are available for purchase.

Yes - The Wagner Society of Northern California was pleased to obtain tickets for Bayreuth Festspiele 2012. Attendees were unsure if construction prevented access to the grave. True to WSNC principles, members of the flower brigade resolved to do their best to place the flowers "no matter what" obstacles stood in the way! It turns out that public access to the grave was not restricted.
