  2. History: That year
  3. 2007

The year 2007 in classical music and in lyrical art

2007. With other artists, Paco de Lucía, Ennio Morricone and Gia Kancheli influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Luciano Pavarotti. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Sound : the 24 Hours of the Day, Opp. 81-101” 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 2007 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 2007.
