February 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.

February 2020 : essential commemorations

2020 is, as every year, an opportunity to celebrate many centenarians or multi-centenarians related to classical music and opera. In February 2020, some well-known or not so famous artists, composers or musicians, are to be commemorated: Heikki Suolahti (100th anniversary, Birth), France Langus (100th anniversary, Birth), Georges Gillet (100th anniversary, Death), Cornelius Gurlitt (200th anniversary, Birth), Eileen Farrell (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. March 2020? ... In a year? February 2021...
