2002, from day to day
2002. With other artists, Ennio Morricone, Pierre Boulez and Paco de Lucía influenced their time (modern & contemporary era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Yevgeny Svetlanov. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Galileo Galilei” 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 2002 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 2002.
