On Nov. 19, the Wagner Society of New York hosted a conversation with Alex Ross and Heath Lees on Ross'  acclaimed new book Wagnerism: Art and Politics in the Shadow of Wagner. One of many such events,  the conversation, with the interaction of Prof. Lees, brought out some interesting aspects of this vast topic not raised in other conversations. The WSNY has also offered the book at a discount ( in domestic sales only). It's now on  the WSNY YouTube channel.
