The year 1977 in classical music and in lyrical art
1977. With other artists, Aram Khachaturian, Astor Piazzolla and Carl Orff influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Maria Callas De Las Mercedes. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Sirius, Opp. 43” de Karlheinz Stockhausen, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1977 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 330 of these moments for 1977.
