In this Listening Lab session, we'll explore Richard Wagner's Ring Without Words – 15 hours of mythic grandeur packed into one 70 minute suite.
Join us as we listen and delve into various pieces and composers featured throughout the 2025 Lakes Area Music Festival. Prior to each session participants will be invited to listen to the featured piece of music. Then, during the 90-minute session we will discuss what you heard, learn more about the context of each composers' work, and listen to excerpts with guided discussion.
All levels of musical knowledge are welcome! Discussions will be led by Artistic & Executive Director, Scott Lykins.
