  2. History: That year
  3. 1963

The year 1963 in classical music and in lyrical art

1963. With other artists, Pau Casals, Carl Orff and Benjamin Britten influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Francis Poulenc. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Cello Symphony, Op. 68” 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 1963 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 360 of these moments for 1963.
