Musical Anniversaries 2012
I am part of a group which meets weekly to listen to recorded music.
Each year we keep note of significant anniversaries for composers and performers with a view to remembering them in some way. I tend to be the one who prepares the list, but 2012 is proving to be a bit of a fallow field. Can anyone here help with fleshing things out a bit (especially the performers section)? This is how it stands at present:
