We are delighted that renown pianist William Wellborn will be our musical guest and he has prepared an exciting mini-concert of piano works. Mr. Wellborn just returned from concerts in France and during this past summer in Weimar, Germany Wellborn played an all Liszt program on Liszt’s piano.
The concert includes works by Scarlatti, Wagner-Liszt, Debussy and Verdi-Liszt.
This is a great opportunity to have an enjoyable afternoon socializing with your fellow Wagnerians who gather together to share stories and Wagnerian fellowship.
The sumptuous banquet will include the traditional Wagner Society welcome with an apertif of sparkling wine to set the festive mood. This is followed by a luscious meal service of: salad, your choice of entrée, dessert, coffee or tea and complimentary red and white wine at your table.
There will also be some fun and surprises and prizes – Festive attire, costume if you choose.
You may order now on-line! Reservations are due by December 1st. We would be delighted if you would join us.
