Film: Wagner's Jews

This is the 100th anniversary of the birth of the composer, Richard Wagner. A known anti-Semite, many Jews refuse to listen to Wagner's music or attend concerts when his compositions are the featured pieces, but did you know that many of the young musicians he surrounded himself with were Jewish? Why did these musicians perform with him and why were they loyal to him? A fascinating, little known part of Wagner's life will be told through this film written and produced by former Rocklander Hilan Warshaw.

Featured Guest Speaker: Hilan Warshaw, Writer and Producer
Hilan Warshaw is a filmmaker, writer, and educator based in New York City. In addition to his media work, he has a background in musical performance and theater.
