» About Us
In 2013 we founded AlbaGorka Artist Management as an agency for artists in classical, jazz and world music.
Really? ANOTHER new agency?
In fact, at first glance we have the same objective as many of our colleagues – pursuing a common aim as intermediaries between promoters and artists, whilst maintaining their respective interests, with the common goal of enabling audiences to enjoy wonderful concert experiences.
It’s also no secret that the classical music business needs artists, programmes and concert formats which explore new ways of retaining audiences and gaining new listeners. And it’s exactly that which is close to our hearts and encourages us. We’re thrilled to be able to work with high profile artists and ensembles who are able to impress through their innovative programming, their repertoire and their versatility. Without, of course, neglecting “traditional” programming for more conventional classical concerts.
We offer our artists a long-term, professional and personal relationship based on trust, together with support in their careers. Nurturing the individual is an essential part of this, so we consciously limit the number of artists we represent so that we can offer a personal service.
We look forward to hearing from you, whether it’s a brief question, a more in-depth discussion or a long-term collaboration!
