CAREER TALK PICNIC | „Do You Need an Agent? Understanding Artist Management in Classical Music" mit Mark Stephan Buhl | Koordination Angela Pari

Park der ABU, bei Schlechtwetter RKT 1.321

This Career Talk provides a clear introduction to the role of artist agencies in classical music. We will look at different management models (general vs. local management), typical responsibilities of an agency compared to administrative support, how collaborations between artists and agencies begin, and when having an agent is useful — or not — at different stages of a career.

Born in USA, Mark Stephan Buhl completed his music studies in Vienna (major in organ performance) before entering the renowned Viennese artist agency Künstleragentur Dr. Raab & Dr. Böhm in 1992. Initially entrusted with a number of instrumental soloists he managed to build up during his 14-year tenure a pulsating division comprising of instrumental soloists, chambermusic and ensembles of varying types.
Equipped with well-grounded knowledge and experience he set up his own company - Mark Stephan Buhl Artists Management - in November 2006 in order to continue offering successful personal representation to artists and ensembles in the classical music world.
As of March 2012 Mark Stephan Buhl is a Board Member and as of 2013 General Secretary of the AEAA (Europe Association of Artists Managers).
