Spring 2010 Concert Schedule Details TBA

Since its founding, the Catskill Glee Club has had five conductors, nine accompanists, and five assistant accompanists. Sixteen members served in the Armed Forces and one member, who was given the Bronze Star, was killed in France in 1944. There have been 134 spring and winter concerts and over 650 road performances. Spring 2009 marks our 82nd season.

Road concerts (several each year) are on Monday evenings. Two home concerts are on Tuesday nights, one in December and one in May.  Concert dress is a tuxedo, but a black suit will do in a pinch. Most of our concerts are in Greene, Ulster, Orange, and Columbia counties.

Members come from communities in the mid-Hudson Valley region. Dues are $20 per year.
  Bruce Wagner has some thirty years of varied musical experience as a choral and orchestral conductor, vocal director, and music director. He is a graduate of Cornell University and Albany Law School and is a practicing attorney. 

Since 1994 he has shared conducting duties for the Yankee Male Chorus. From 1992 through 2003 he was music director for the men’s, women’s, and mixed choruses of the Troy German Hall Association. He was conductor of the Hendrick Hudson Male Chorus, in East Greenbush, from 1989 through 2003, having been appointed its assistant conductor in 1987. Also in East Greenbush, he served as director of music at the Church of the Holy Spirit from 1984 to 1987.

In Poughkeepsie, from 1978 to 1980, Mr. Wagner was vocal director for the Summer Company productions (at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House) of Mame, Sweet Charity, and Mack & Mabel; he also played bass guitar for the former two shows, and for Mack & Mabel he conducted SUMCO’s orchestra.

Mr. Wagner has been president of the Mohawk-Hudson Male Chorus Association since 2007 and a member of its board of directors since 1989. He was secretary of the Conductors Club from 1992 to 1998.

At Cornell, where he double-majored in music and government to earn a B.A. degree, his principal musical focus was in voice, under the late Barbara Troxell; he also studied choral conducting with Thomas A. Sokol and orchestral conducting with Karel Husa, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Music Composition in 1968.

Mr. Wagner graduated from Albany Law School of Union University in 1985. At McNamee, Lochner, Titus and Williams, P.C., in Albany, he is chairman of the Family Law Practice Group.
