  2. History: That year
  3. 1969

The year 1969 in classical music and in lyrical art

1969. With other artists, Benjamin Britten, John Cage and Aram Khachaturian influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Theodor W. Adorno. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 14, Op. 135” de Dmitri Shostakovich, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.

All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1969 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 370 of these moments for 1969.
