The year 1971 in classical music and in lyrical art
1971. With other artists, Igor Stravinsky, Pau Casals and Aram Khachaturian influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Anna Netrebko, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 15 in A major, Op. 141” 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 1971 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 340 of these moments for 1971.
