Valery Gergiev changes agent
mainThe former Opus3 Europe boss Marcus Felsner, now based in Munich, has pulled out a plum on Christmas Day.
Felsner has announced the addition of Valery Gergiev ‘for international representation’ to his growing list of artists.
Gergiev said: ‘Reaching worldwide audiences through new media channels and protecting artists’ legacies have become critically important. Marcus’ background in law, business administration and the non-profit sector, and his understanding of the arts are a particularly valuable combination.’
This is his second change of agency in a month, having previously signed on with Doug Sheldon’s phoenix start-up in the US.
Felsner will mind the shop for Gergiev during prolonged absences from the Munich Philharmonic, where he is music director.
Will Gergiev pay a commission? Unlikely. His name on the masthead is worth more to an agent than 10% of fees.
Gergiev needs an agent ? Seems sort of guy who’s do all his stuff direct
I thought that Putin was his agent.
I always thought his agent was Putin. Or is it the other way around?
CAMI must have made millions out of him.
More like a first change in a long time: from CAMI/Sheldon to Sheldon’s new agency is a transition for Sheldon, not for Gergiev.
“Will Gergiev pay a commission? Unlikely.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Have you ever worked with an agent, Norman? They NEVER miss a fee. They’re like lawyers.
Hopefully his new agents will talk some sense into him about his schedule.
Plus la change, plus la meme chose…
