Three classes designed to shed light on what artist management is and what it is not. Having made her mark as one of the most well-respected international artist managers, Lydia Connolly, former Board Director at HarrisonParrott, shares her insights into the role of managers in today’s classical music industry, and provides strategic guidance on the most effective and rewarding ways in which artists and managers can work together. 

Both performing artists and those interested in making a career in artist management are welcome to join this series of interactive workshops. Bring an open mind and, most importantly, your curiosity.  There are no stupid questions — and one size does not fit all.
