In its second year, the Baldwin-Wallace College Conservatory of Music’s Wagner Intensive, a program created to help launch the careers of singers exploring the Wagnerian repertoire, will expand to 10 days of training. The Intensive will be held from Wednesday, July 18 to Saturday July 28, 2012 in the newly renovated B-W Conservatory of Music facility. Top Wagner singers and teachers Jane Eaglen and Timothy Mussard will lead the Intensive as co-artistic directors. Mature singers who are exploring the Wagnerian repertoire are encouraged to submit an audition by April 1, 2012 for consideration.
During ten days of intensive training, singers will participate in private lessons, repertoire coachings, scene study, German language study, staging rehearsals, and master classes. In addition to instruction with Eaglen and Mussard, participants will interact with top Wagner coach / conductors Eric Weimer and William Vendice and guest master class artist Baritone Gordon Hawkins.
