Calendarium
This page is mostly for me but also for fans who like ..info. If you write a blog you must check everything yourself, it's also something what my students taught me when I was a teacher. It was a valuable and rather a hard lesson..And I know that my memory is not my strongest point so..I will completing this calendarium from time to time, just getting started (with March), I have no idea how this page will develop. I know that it would be impossible to include everything , there are over 600 concerts alone, so I will put only the info I need while writing this blog. Please let me know if you spot a mistake.
