  2. History: That year
  3. 1958

The year 1958 in classical music and in lyrical art

1958. With other artists, Carl Orff, Pau Casals and Igor Stravinsky influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Andrea Bocelli, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “La voix humaine, Op. 171” de Francis Poulenc, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.

All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1958 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 390 of these moments for 1958.
