Welcome

The Wagner Society of Scotland has been promoting and exploring the works of Richard Wagner since 1984. We hold monthly meetings with guest Speakers from October to May and an annual study course during the summer, and participate in the RWVI Annual Bayreuth Scholarship.

NEXT EVENTS

Please note, all monthly talks are being delivered online via Zoom, except the AGM (Zoom for members only) and talk by Laurence Dreyfus on 8th December, and the talk by Hans Rudolf Vaget on 30th March, both of which will be in-person events at the Edinburgh Society of Musicians.  A link to join each Zoom meeting will be sent to members closer to the event, and to non-members once you have obtained your ticket for the event.
