Wagner Society of Scotland
The aim of the Society is to promote knowledge and appreciation of the works of Richard Wagner. The Society is open to all and hosts a number of events. The society's website (www.wagnerscotland.net) is worth studying, and gives details of their programmes and subscription.
They have a number of activities, one of which is raising money for a Bayreuth Scholarship, to contribute towards the visit of a promising artist to the Bayreuth Festival.
They can be contacted through the contact details given on the Society website. New members are always welcome!
