David Wagner has retired from Madonna University in Livonia, Michigan, where he served as professor of music and university organist. During his 17-year teaching career at Madonna University, he developed an organ studio and oversaw the installation of a new Karl Wilhelm mechanical-action organ. Madonna University was able to offer a bachelor’s degree in both organ and in church music under his direction. Wagner also directed the University Chorale and toured with the group in Ireland, England, and France, including presenting a concert at the Omaha Beach Memorial in the summer of 2004.
Dave Wagner will continue his work as an organ recitalist and as the program director and on-air host for WRCJ-FM in Detroit. Wagner was the first staff member hired at the new station when it went on the air in 2005. The station has just celebrated its tenth anniversary with a new analog and digital HD transmitter along with a new antenna for improved coverage throughout Southeastern Michigan.
