December 2023: 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.

December 2023 : essential commemorations

2023 is, as every year, an opportunity to celebrate many centenarians or multi-centenarians related to classical music and opera. In December 2023, some well-known or not so famous artists, composers or musicians, are to be commemorated: Ernest Reyer (200th anniversary, Birth), Maria Callas (100th anniversary, Birth), Frank Guarrera (100th anniversary, Birth), Magdalena Micińska (100th anniversary, Death), Jaroslav Meier (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. Next month? January 2024... In a year? December 2024...
