  2. History: That year
  3. 1962

The year 1962 in classical music and in lyrical art

1962. With other artists, Theodor W. Adorno, Aaron Copland and Carl Orff influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Dmitry Khvorostovsky, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “War Requiem, Op. 66” de Benjamin Britten, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.

All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1962 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 350 of these moments for 1962.
