There has been a bout of Covid-era hyperactivity from the London agency HarrisonParrott, hovering up young batons and placing them with Baltic orchestras.

The latest signing is the Japanese conductor Masaaki Suzuki, founder of the Bach Collegium Japan in 1990. Also in the package is his conductor son Masato Suzuki.

Suzuki was prevously with HazardChase, which collapsed in the early days of lockdown.

    Spot on. And I would add: If they´re that lucky.

    Norman, Agencies don’t “hire” artists. They “sign” them. Employees get hired, although these days not so much. Have a fabulous weekend – love your work.

      As a singer myself with an agent, you still have to get hired regardless of being signed up! Many of us use that word in the profession.
