Keeping the Dream Alive

Keeping the Dream Alive

Despite the controversy that accompanies the creation, appreciation and expression of music, we all validate the importance of it in our lives. For us, there is value in all aspects of the vibration that is sound in motion. The essence of beingness is vibration for nothing can exist without the fundamental act of innate movement that allows for its projection into our reality. The act of pitch is the establishment of purpose upon a 'blank canvas' of a universe. With fierce determination a territory is carved out of the fabric of cacophony and from there arises our fate.

Music is the way to express our inner emotions, define the edges of our boundaries, create bridges to other people, and translate the truculent tongue of the soul. Beauty and Art must prevail over brutality and baseness. We aspire, with our better angels, to raise the song to God in appreciation of all creation. This is not an easy process. It demands loyalty, commitment, and trust. And we must be true to the muse of music to keep the dream alive.

At the Wagner Ensemble there is a process that is pursued with the spiritedness reserved for the inveterate enthusiast. What we practice is achieved with the wind of whispered antiquity at our backs. In the Wagner tradition sound is shaped, honed and elevated to a precise expression that fits a sea of sensation that washes over the human spirit. The goal is to unveil our most sacred moments from the measured steps of destiny through the mud of mankind. We strive to sing with passion and perform with precision because that is what our tradition demands. Jeannine has dedicated her life to the principles that keep the Wagner Tradition alive.

Wisdom is not an final destination from which to wave goodbye but a way station from which to say hello. The journey is just beginning.
