2009, from day to day
2009. With other artists, Pierre Boulez, Giya Kancheli and Krzysztof Penderecki influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Alicia de Larrocha. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 2009 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 180 of these moments for 2009.
