The city of Oceanside was at one point referred to as "Ocean-slime." But now, it's gentrifying.

The complex textures and rich harmonies characteristic of Richard Wagner’s compositions had a magnetic force on the composers featured on this afternoon’s program. From Strauss’ lusciously scored and radiantly colorful Sextet from his opera "Capriccio" and a string version of Berg’s intense "Piano Sonata" to arrangements and works in honor of Wagner by his own father-in-law, Franz Liszt, this program is a testament to the dominant force of this Romantic master. The program ends with the rarely heard, lushly exuberant "Sextet" by Hungarian composer Ernst Von Dohnányi for strings, clarinet, and horn. This event is part of La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest 2022, with a prelude performance by the Pelia Quartet at 2 p.m. Date | Sunday, August 14 at 3 p.m. Location | The Baker-Baum Concert Hall at The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center Get tickets here! Ticket prices ranging from $48 to $98. For more information, please visit ljms.org/events/the-wagner-effect or call (858) 459-3728.
