Come and enjoy the company of fellow Wagner aficionados! The Richard Wagner Society of the Upper Midwest (RWSUM) is a non-profit organization whose membership is comprised not only of those long familiar with, but also those just discovering the music dramas of Richard Wagner. The RWSUM strives towards greater appreciation and understanding of these works and of the man who created them, while also encouraging new audiences and performers, through various activities including:
Organize events at which vocal artists perform selections of Wagner’s works
Encourage other performances of Wagner's works
Sponsor lectures and group discussions
Travel to attend performances
Share personal interest and experience about Wagner with other enthusiasts
Provide a library of recordings and books for the use of RWSUM members (under construction)
