The Roger Wagner Center for Choral Studies on the campus of
California State University, Los Angeles sponsors a World Wide
Web page. The address is: http://www.calstatela.edu/centers/Wagner.
A new entertaing file on the Roger Wagner Center page is "Wagneria,"
annecdotes and personal stories about Roger Wagner.
This man was famous for the manner in which he generated choral
excellence. Of course, some of his behavior was severe and harsh
which he addressed in later life. In fact, he made specific comment
on his harsh manner in the interview which we published in a recent
tribute "festschrift" (Thomas House Publications.) But
there is a plethora of stories about Roger Wagner which we would
like to collect. We request your assistance. Most stories would
come first-hand. Please indicate your personal involvement. If
the story is second-hand please indicate that as well. You could
choose to reply to the entire list, or directly to the web site
manager:
jswain@calstatela.edu.
All replys will be posted for the pleasure of readers. Thank
you for any contribution you might be able to make.
