June 6 - Siegfried Wagner (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Siegfried Wagner (6 June 1869 – 4 August 1930) was a German composer, conductor, and the artistic director of the Bayreuth Festival from 1908 to 1930.

When you have a famous dad,

As Siegfried Wagner surely had,

Cosima, a fearsome mother:

Heading up the family clan

Can be a headache for a man.
