Happy Birthday Hector!


Today is Berlioz's birthday (born in 1803).

- "Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils." (Berlioz)

He is one of the composer portraits featured in my 2010 Opera Calendar

I have just finished a 2009 calendar featuring opera composers: Puccini, Mozart, Berlioz, Bellini, Mascagni, Rossini, Bizet, Wagner, Handel, Offenbach, Verdi and Leoncavallo.

    100lb cover weight high gloss paper
    wire-o binding
    Jan - Dec 2009
    US holiday dates only
  • Oversize Wall Calendar
    as above except
    page size 17" x 11" (17" x 22" when hung)
  • Vertical Wall Calendar
    page size 11" x 17" (11" x 17" when hung)
    10pt heavyweight high gloss paper
    rest as above.
