27th IAMA International Conference

welcome, willkommen, bienvenue Laurent Bayle, Philharmonie de Paris The Philharmonie de Paris opened in January 2015 and has presented two seasons of diverse concerts, earning an excellent international reputation for the acoustic qualities of its Grande Salle. The project has also reached new audiences by bringing together many different disciplines under one roof, namely concerts, exhibitions, workshops, a digital resource centre and publishing – all tailored to the times in which we live. More than a million people visited in the first year, and this high volume of visitors has been maintained, thanks to the public’s enthusiastic response.

PATRICK MESSINA

The invitation of the IAMA Conference to the Philharmonie de Paris represents an important milestone. It is also a testament to the great vitality of musical life in France, as well as in several other European countries that have recently inaugurated new concert halls, or which

Aino Turtiainen-Visala, IAMA Chairman

intend to build innovative new music venues (including Germany, Poland and the UK). At a time when such modern facilities are coming into being, a conference of this kind is especially valuable and relevant: the participants in the international music world need to adapt continuously, to understand the role that music can play in our complex world, and to monitor the development of artists so that their concerts continue to convey a form of dream or utopia.

Without a clear vision of the purpose that we seek, the concert world would become a market, rendering music banal and reducing it to a mere product. This is the purpose of our actions, whether collective or individual: to shape true acts of culture that link music to the world around it.

Laurent Bayle Président, Philharmonie de Paris

David Sigall, IAMA President

Here we are at the 27th IAMA International Conference and back in the beautiful city of Paris. Those of you attending the 2010 Conference will know the tribulations we had, not with security concerns but with something more natural and unexpected. Eyjafjallajökull was the Icelandic volcano that was fun to try and pronounce but challenging for those trying to attend the meeting. It was a mere 24 hours before the start of the 2010 Conference that the flight ban was lifted. I trust all of you did not have issues this time.

HEIKKI TUULI

I’m delighted to welcome you all at the Conference which has established itself to be the classical music business meeting of the year in Europe. I’m also pleased to see so many new faces on this year’s delegate list, in particular our colleagues from French companies.

We are honoured to be in the wonderful new Philharmonie de Paris, without whose support a visit to Paris would be impossible. Thanks are due to the Conference committee: Gaetan le Divelec (Conference Chair and director, Askonas Holt), Emmanuel Hondré (Philharmonie de Paris), Romain Blondel (Solea Management), Catherine Le Bris (CLB Management) and Enrique Subiela (Duetto Management).

IAMA is not just an annual conference. Our daily work deals with self-regulation of the artist management profession, so it is fitting at an event like this to explore issues in the profession from which I’m sure many will learn – not difficult when you think of the hundreds of years of experience and knowledge among all of you at the Conference.

We hope you enjoy yourself and have a fruitful few days in Paris.

Aino Turtiainen-Visala, Managing Director, Fazer Artists’ Management Inc.

As the newly appointed Honorary President of the International Artist Managers’ Association it gives me great pleasure to add my welcome to this year’s IAMA Conference in Paris.

It has been most gratifying for me to see how the international Conference has grown in popularity and importance from its early days when I was involved in its establishment in 1991.

It was, at that time, just an experiment, but such was its success that it became an annual event and so it has remained for 26 years.

Our work continues throughout the year to ensure the highest possible professional standards amongst our members, and the creation of greater business opportunities for our members. To me the annual IAMA Conference is living proof of these aspirations.

27th IAMA International Conference

welcome, willkommen, bienvenue Gaetan Le Divelec, Conference Chairman Welcome to IAMA’s 2017 Conference, in the extraordinary setting of Paris’s new Philharmonie, a facility which in so many ways embodies the vibrant, dynamic, contemporary face of the classical music profession.

The classical music world is relentlessly being challenged to re-invent itself. But what if we don’t need to re-invent the wheel? What if all we need to do is simply to do what we do better?

I have been keen for this year’s Conference to focus on themes directly relevant to the profession at the heart of IAMA’s raison d’être: artist management. Artists, concert presenters, venues and orchestras are at the coal face. We, artist managers, are one step removed. Our role is fundamentally a supporting role. Our influence on what goes on stage, on how it goes on stage, on how it reaches diverse audiences, is real but indirect. So what does ‘doing what we do better’ mean for us artist managers? How do we support the wider classical music world in meeting its challenges? How are the needs of the people we serve – the artists (our clients), and the presenters we work with – evolving? Are we doing enough to address these needs? If we must raise our game, what exactly does that mean? What are our challenges?

For some of the topics we will explore, I have asked presenters to hold a mirror up to us, to offer us their perspective on how we work (‘What makes a good artist manager?’; ‘Who cares about selling?’). Other topics will be explored through peer-to-peer discussions: we will discuss how we can work together better (‘East-West’; ‘Who cares about local management?’), how to combine the complex set of roles involved in being an artist manager into one harmonious whole (‘Who cares about the artist manager?’), and how to adapt our services and our business models to the changing environment and the changing needs of the people we serve (‘Fit for the future’). We will also focus on a topic seldom discussed in our profession yet somehow central to what we do: coaching. The artists we manage are at the top of their game, but they often turn to us for advice and feedback.

How do we respond? Are we equipped to respond? How do we manage the boundaries involved? (‘Who cares about coaching?’; ‘What is coaching all about?’). We have a stellar line-up of speakers to help us illuminate these topics through what I hope will be fascinating discussions.

Historically, this conference also provides a backdrop for vibrant business meetings. Ultimately, the classical music profession is about human relationships: in our era of electronic communication, the IAMA Conference is a unique opportunity to connect face-to-face with the extraordinary people who make up our industry. Whatever makes you tick, whether it is doing business, networking, or taking part in sessions – hopefully a combination of the three – you will find it here. Happy conference!

Joséphine Markovits Joséphine Markovits is artistic director of the prestigious Festival d’Automne à Paris (Paris Autumn Festival), an event aimed at bringing a truly international perspective to the cultural scene in the French capital. She has been intimately involved with the Festival since its inception in 1972.

Markovits’ remit has been to find music that deserves a higher profile in France, and to put together programmes to showcase this music in Paris. She has presented works by outstanding contemporary composers including Luigi Nono, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Mauricio Kagel, Steve Reich and Gérard Pesson. She has also helped to launch the careers of new composers such as Brice Pauset, Mark Andre and Clara Ianotta. Notable commissions for the Festival include the 2005 video installation Fields of Fire by Michal Rovner and Heiner Goebbels.

Markovits’ first major programme for Festival d’Automne was the Cycle of Performances at the Sorbonne Chapel in 1979, featuring outstanding artists such as Laurie Anderson, Don Cherry, Sheryl Sutton and Deborah Hay. In preparation for this, she spent two months working in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Her work has taken her all over the world, including India, China, the USA and Mexico, as well as Zululand in South Africa and the Aboriginal lands of Australia.

Presenters

The daughter of Hungarian exiles, Markovits’ formative musical influences ranged from her uncles’ informal violin performances to jazz broadcasts on the radio. Her first experience of listening to Wagner’s Ring cycle made her decide to devote her career to music.

– working language is German –

Markovits worked closely with Michel Guy, founder of the Festival d’Automne à Paris, until his death in 1990 left the future of the Festival in doubt. Another moment of crisis for the event occurred at the death of Guy’s successor, Alain Crombecque, in 2009. Since then, Markovits and her fellow artistic director, Marie Collin, have succeeded in preserving the Festival’s unique identity. A strong team is now in place, led by Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota, and with firm support from its public, Markovits is optimistic about the future of the Festival.

This session will aim to identify and understand the different roles that we hold under the umbrella term of artist manager. / La gérance d’artiste sollicite un vaste éventail de compétences et de qualités personnelles dont la pratique peut s’avérer conflictuelle: comment faire coexister harmonieusement chez une seule personne les rôles liés à la vente, la promotion, la stratégie, le soutien bienveillant, l’accompagnement professionnel, l’organisation et la négociation?

speakers Sam Rigby

Sonia Simmenauer Sonia Simmenauer was born in the USA and grew up in Paris. From 1982 to 2008 she lived in Hamburg, where she founded Impresariat Simmenauer in 1989 as an agency exclusively for string quartets.

The Alban Berg Quartet, the Cleveland Quartet, the Guarneri Quartet and the Tokyo String Quartet are among the artists Simmenauer represented in the latter stages of their careers.

Sam Rigby joined artist management agency Intermusica in 2003, reaching the position of associate director and managing a varied list of artists such as Daniil Trifonov, Francesco Piemontesi, Midori, Renaud Capuçon and the Pavel Haas Quartet. He also managed concert series at London’s Southbank Centre and St Petersburg’s Mariinsky Concert Hall.

In 2013 Rigby was appointed creative director of Schott Music, London, with responsibility for promoting the publisher’s catalogue of 20thcentury and contemporary composers. He became managing director of Schott Music, London in 2015.

Cristina Rocca Cristina Rocca joined the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 2015 as vice president for artistic planning (the Richard and Mary L Gray Chair). She is responsible for the design and execution of all the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association’s (CSOA) artistic plans, working closely with CSO music director Riccardo Muti and CSOA president Jeff Alexander to develop innovative programmes and to engage guest artists. Her role also includes supervision of the Symphony Center Presents and MusicNow series.

Born in Bologna, Italy, Rocca was appointed artistic director of the Orchestre National de France, where she worked alongside music director Daniele Gatti to enhance the orchestra’s position nationally and internationally. During her time as director of artistic planning with the Cleveland Orchestra, her knowledge of and experience in the European music world helped contribute to the diversification of the orchestra’s programming at home and on tour. She has also held senior artistic posts with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg, the Bournemouth Symphony and the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome.

Barbara Scales Barbara Scales is the founder of Latitude 45 Arts Promotion Inc, founded in 1981 and based in Montreal. An internationalist by principal, her company has represented artists from Australia, Japan, Korea, Iran, Israel, Mexico, Argentina, France, the United Kingdom, Russia, South Africa, the United States and Canada, who tour on five continents.

In 2009, Impresariat Simmenauer moved its offices to Berlin, and today it represents a dozen internationally respected string quartets, among them the Arditti, Artemis, Hagen, Belcea, Quatuor Ébène, Cuarteto Casals and Jerusalem Quartets. Simmenauer also manages individuals such as violinists Gidon Kremer, Isabelle Faust and Vadim Gluzman, violist Kim Kashkashian, cellist Alisa Weilerstein, pianists Piotr Anderszewski, Louis Lortie, Alexander Melnikov, and more.

Simmenauer is a professor at the Musikhochschule in Hamburg, teaching a new area of studies called ‘Music Transmission’. She has written a book about life in a string quartet entitled Muss es sein? Leben im Quartette.

Enrique Subiela Enrique Subiela and his bother Jose are founders of Duetto Management, an artist management office established in Spain. He is also co-founder of the PR agency Impacta.

Duetto represents artists in Spain and Latin America, including Gustavo Dudamel, Lang Lang, Cecilia Bartoli, Juan Diego Flórez, John Eliot Gardiner, Grigory Sokolov and Yuja Wang. The company’s touring department has collaborated with international orchestras and ensembles that include the Vienna Philharmonic, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, English Baroque Soloists and the Orchestra de Paris.

A self-styled non-conformist, Subiela believes in the need to search for new professional tools that transcend the comfort zone created by traditional business approaches. Beginning with local management, he has evolved structural strategies for artists, agreements with media and record companies, alliances with corporations and a PR office with creative vision. His work as a concert promoter integrates these elements.

Subiela’s professional and personal ideals are defined by social commitment, disruption and cooperation or co-management.

Scales’ academic studies were in philosophy, with a master’s thesis on the question: ‘What does it mean to say that art belongs to its time?’

This work inspires her collaboration with performers, composers and presenters. Originally from New York City, Scales has made her home in Montreal since 1968. She was appointed president of the board of directors of the Canadian Music Centre in Quebec in 2014, and has served on the board for more than 20 years. She has also served on the boards of CINARS, NAPAMA, ISPA and several other organisations.

speakers Alexander Steinbeis

Annette Wolde

Alexander Steinbeis was appointed managing director of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin (DSO) in 2007, having already been engaged as director of artistic planning by Ingo Metzmacher, the orchestra’s principal conductor and artistic director at the time. His current contract runs through to 2021.

Born in Munich in 1974, Steinbeis grew up in Germany and the UK. He studied management and arts administration in London, Paris, Oxford and Berlin. In 1999 he was engaged by Seiji Ozawa as assistant artistic administrator for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, where he remained until 2005, planning concerts at Boston’s Symphony Hall and the Tanglewood Festival.

Steinbeis has raised the DSO’s profile by taking programmes to new and unusual venues. Initiatives such as ‘Casual Concerts’ have attracted new audiences in Berlin. Meanwhile, the chamber concert series ‘Notturno’, which the DSO has been presenting since 2010 in cooperation with the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz, promotes partnerships with Berlin’s other cultural institutions.

As well engaging a raft of prominent conducting luminaries for the DSO, Steinbeis played a key role in securing Tugan Sokhiev (201216) and Robin Ticciati (from 2017) as music directors. The orchestra’s concerts at the Philharmonie are enjoying attendance rates averaging around 90 per cent.

Alasdair Tait Alasdair Tait studied cello at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester with Emma Ferrand and Ralph Kirshbaum, and in Basel with Thomas Demenga.

He was cellist of the award-winning Belcea Quartet until 2006, including a five-year residency at London’s Wigmore Hall. The Quartet were twice recipients of the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society Award and were the first BBC New Generation Artists.

Annette Wolde completed her studies in 1983 with a doctorate in art history, which took her from Bonn to Vienna, Paris and London. She worked for the Fondation Jean Arp and Sophie TaeuberArp and, while freelancing for TV and exhibition organisation, helped create and organised a chamber music festival near Bonn.

In 1987 Wolde became managing director of the self-governed Junge Deutsche Philharmonie in Frankfurt. In 1993 she was asked to take over the concert management and later the programme planning of the Kölner Philharmonie, a position she held until March 2017. She is currently pursuing creative projects in the arts world, including those which support young musicians.

Kexin Zhang Kexin Zhang was born in Beijing. He launched his career in business, working with firms such as Mitsui, IBM China and Focus Trading. In 1999, he decided to turn to his first love, music, and with a group of business partners founded Chanson Arts Management. From 2007-08, Zhang was executive director of external liaison for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics. He went on to become music production manager for the filmmaker Zhang Yimou.

In 2014, he created Standard Artists Management, which quickly established itself as one of China’s leading artist management firms.

Zhang’s passion for classical music is demonstrated in his private collection of more than 30,000 CDs, records and DVDs. He has written for publications including Philharmonic, Gramophone, Opera, Capital Culture and Music Lover. He has also contributed to journals such as the Beijing Youth Daily and Music Weekly. His writings on music were selected for inclusion in a collection entitled Essays by 40 Critics of China. As a broadcaster, Zhang guest-hosts the programme Classical and Popular, live on Beijing Music Radio; and Music Life on China Central Television’s Music Channel.

Alongside his now full-time role as chief executive of Young Classical Artists Trust (YCAT), Tait was head of chamber music at Guildhall School of Music and the RNCM. He taught at the Reina Sofia in Madrid and is a regular professor on the European Chamber Music Academy (ECMA) and at Aldeburgh Music. He is frequently invited as a jury member on international competitions such as Banff, Melbourne, Wigmore Hall and Vienna/Haydn. In 2016, he was named the Association of British Orchestras’ Artist Manager of the Year.

Tait also works as a psychodynamic psychotherapist in private practice in London.
