The Richard Wagner Society of the Upper Midwest

Welcome!

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, including the Bayreuth Festival
  
• 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)
