February 2021: 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 2021 : essential commemorations

2021 is, as every year, an opportunity to celebrate many centenarians or multi-centenarians related to classical music and opera. In February 2021, some well-known or not so famous artists, composers or musicians, are to be commemorated: Roberto Viglione (100th anniversary, Death), Jaroslav Kofroň (100th anniversary, Birth), Francisco d'd’Andrade (100th anniversary, Death), Jeanne Demessieux (100th anniversary, Birth), Hans Haym (100th anniversary, Death).

There are many more: 1921, 1821, 1721...

What's next? Every month, dozens of anniversaries are good reasons to discover a work, to rediscover a musician. March 2021? ... In a year? February 2022...
