Who’s Afraid of Herr Hugo Wolf?

Have you ever wondered what’s the deal with the songs of Hugo Wolf? Need an opportunity to tell the world why his songs are so great? Then join us for this friendly conversation where we’ll explore the songs of the big-bad Wolf! We’ll focus on two of his greatest songs, “Im Frühling” and “Ganymed,” for a lively discussion where all opinions are welcome. A short informative introduction by our host, Simon Barrad, will precede hot-takes, unpopular truths, and lively debate by the group.

At Song Connect events, you can expect:

  • A small, friendly and open group, led by a distinguished expert on the topic at hand, made for deepening connections with song and each other.

  • An easy experience for song lovers of any level, with guided listening, sheet music, and discussion questions sent in advance, as applicable.

  • Lively discussion where everyone’s perspectives and reactions are welcomed in an effort to broaden our own horizons.

  • Free registration for all, with early bird access available to Friends of CSI.
