2014, from day to day
2014. With other artists, Krzysztof Penderecki, James Horner and Claudio Abbado influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Claudio Abbado. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 2014 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 140 of these moments for 2014.
