August 2020: the main classical music anniversaries to celebrate

Every month, composers and musicians to remember! Classical music and opera have brought out tens of thousands of artists, are performed in thousands of venues and their composers have written scores in great numbers throughout 10 centuries of history. From January 1 to December 31, there are therefore many opportunities to remember a composer or discover an artist, to explore a genre or to expand a work' s knowledge.

August 2020 : essential commemorations

2020 is, as every year, an opportunity to celebrate many centenarians or multi-centenarians related to classical music and opera. In August 2020, some well-known or not so famous artists, composers or musicians, are to be commemorated: Luther Orlando Emerson (200th anniversary, Birth), Vladimir Rebikov (100th anniversary, Death), Antonín Vranický (200th anniversary, Death), Julius Stern (200th anniversary, Birth), Siu Yin Fei (100th anniversary, Birth)... and many more.

What's next? Every month, dozens of anniversaries are good reasons to discover a work, to rediscover a musician. September 2020? ... In a year? August 2021...
