Weaving a Universal Song from Specific Stories
Kelley Rourke
In November 2007, Houston Grand Opera presented the
world premiere of The Refuge, a large-scale oratorio in which
community performers joined the Houston Grand Opera
chorus, orchestra, children’s chorus and members of the HGO
Studio in a musical portrait of Houston’s rich cultural diversity.
The project was not only a continuation of the company’s
commitment to creating new work for the stage; it marked the
beginning of a new effort to establish Houston Grand Opera as
a vital cultural resource for the people of Houston. HGOco is
the name given to a diversified menu of community programs,
ranging from teacher workshops to a high school voice studio.
Within HGOco, Song of Houston is a series of collaborative
artistic projects — beginning with The Refuge — designed to
explore the stories of Houston and the people who live and
work there.

Gods And Monsters: 5 Unforgettable Wagner Moments
By Tom Huizenga
• Deceptive Cadence (NPR) • Tuesday, May 21, 2013
How much do you know about Richard Wagner? Probably two unfavorable facts: He wrote
very long, grandiose operas and was Hitler's favorite composer. As true
as they are, those simple examples barely hint at the complexity of this
endlessly creative and confounding artist.
