  2. History: That year
  3. 2001

The year 2001 in classical music and in lyrical art

2001. With other artists, Claudio Abbado, Pierre Boulez and Mikis Theodorakis influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Iannis Xenakis. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Symphony No. 6, “Plutonian Ode”” de Philip Glass, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.

All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 2001 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 190 of these moments for 2001.
