Answer 1

UBC Orchestra is always great.

Answer 2

I know Wagner was once shunned because of it's associations with the Nazi's but Wagner was not a Nazi (wonder how he would feel about this association). Now people are starting to appreciate his works. Just had a crazy idea that perhaps some of the anti-tRump groups as indivisible should adopt this music as a rallying cry against the wanna be Nazis. One thing Seattle is noted for is it's presentations of Wagner's Ring cycle. Though, I can't imagine sitting through hours of one of these operas. [seattleopera.org]
