Ser­vices for clas­sic­al music and cul­ture

Your suc­cess in the cul­ture and music sec­tor

Our pas­sion is your vis­ib­il­ity. As an inter­na­tion­ally act­ive com­mu­nic­a­tions agency for clas­sic­al music, cul­ture and the per­form­ing arts, we help your ambi­tions to suc­ceed — wheth­er you are an orches­tra, fest­iv­al, event organ­izer or artist. With more than 25 years of exper­i­ence, we know the chal­lenges facing the cul­tur­al and music scene today: Digit­al upheavals, chan­ging user beha­vi­or and dwind­ling atten­tion spans demand new dram­at­ur­gies for a suc­cess­ful per­form­ance. In work­shops and in con­tinu­ous exchange with you, we there­fore devel­op sus­tain­able com­mu­nic­a­tion con­cepts that we imple­ment for you. In doing so, we use the entire spec­trum — from clas­sic press rela­tions and con­tent man­age­ment to social media and online mar­ket­ing.

Con­certo Copen­ha­gen

For over thirty years, Con­certo Copen­ha­gen (CoCo) has been on a music­al jour­ney of dis­cov­ery. Rooted in the Early Music scene, the Copen­ha­gen-based orches­tra con­tinu­ously expands its rep­er­toire. Described as an “ensemble for tidløs musik” it is not only a mas­ter of Baroque music but is also at home in the Vienna Clas­sic­al, Romantic, and con­tem­por­ary music rep­er­toires.

Your team for cre­at­ive brand com­mu­nic­a­tion.

Spätro­mantik | Oper | PR-Man­ager

I first encountered Mahler­’s Song of the Earth in music class at sec­ond­ary school. It opened up a whole new world for me. After gradu­at­ing from high school, I stud­ied philo­sophy, lit­er­at­ure and cul­tur­al stud­ies in Munich, with a par­tic­u­lar focus on late Roman­ti­cism and early Mod­ern­ism.

I have been part of Opheli­as Cul­ture PR since 2021 – ini­tially as an intern, now as a PR man­ager. Here, I can com­bine my enthu­si­asm for music with cre­at­ive pub­lic rela­tions work: inter­act­ing with journ­al­ists and cul­tur­al pro­fes­sion­als or devel­op­ing tail­or-made PR con­cepts. Reg­u­lar vis­its to con­certs and oper­as are not only part of the job, but also a real priv­ilege.

Opheli­as’ port­fo­lio, which includes early music and baroque opera, has par­tic­u­larly broadened my hori­zons. I have encountered styles and eras that were largely unknown to me before and have changed my per­spect­ive on music once again. It is fas­cin­at­ing how these his­tor­ic­al sound­scapes are being brought back to life in the present day – and how sur­pris­ing con­nec­tions between dif­fer­ent music­al tra­di­tions can be dis­covered time and again.

Early Music | Con­tem­por­ary | PR Man­ager

Since 2019, I have been man­aging PR pro­jects at Opheli­as Cul­ture PR, includ­ing Ensemble Mod­ern, Basel Sin­foni­etta, Inns­bruck Fest­iv­al of Early Music, Bayreuth Baroque Fest­iv­al, and the activ­it­ies of Palazz­etto Bru Zane. My expert­ise lies in musicology—especially music before 1600 as well as from the mod­ern era to the present day.

This dual per­spect­ive shapes my work, from writ­ing pro­gram notes and press releases to devel­op­ing com­mu­nic­a­tion strategies for premi­eres, rep­er­toire rar­it­ies, and inter­dis­cip­lin­ary formats. My back­ground in eco­nom­ics sup­ports my stra­tegic foresight, par­tic­u­larly in cul­tur­al mar­ket­ing, brand devel­op­ment, and audi­ence tar­get­ing.

Music­ally rooted in boys’ choir and early viol­in les­sons, a per­form­ance of Mahler’s Third Sym­phony was a form­at­ive exper­i­ence. A pivotal moment came with attend­ing the Ger­man premiere of Philip Glass’s the CIVIL warS—an event that pro­foundly expan­ded my view of music as a socially impact­ful art form.

After com­plet­ing my musi­co­logy stud­ies with a minor in eco­nom­ics, I joined Opheli­as Cul­ture PR as a train­ee in 2018. I have stayed on because of the rich con­tent, the vari­ety of tasks, and the joy of smart cul­tur­al com­mu­nic­a­tion.

Net­work­er | Own­er | Strategist

Clas­sic­al music and cul­ture are my pas­sions. Com­mu­nic­at­ing this is a mat­ter close to my heart. It was already import­ant to me as a music dram­at­urge at vari­ous Ger­man theatres and later as a product man­ager in the record industry. So it was only a small step to set up my own com­mu­nic­a­tions agency, as I did in the mil­len­ni­um year 2000. It is import­ant to me to work in a small team of spe­cial­ised col­leagues on an equal foot­ing. Only in this way is it pos­sible for me as a man­ager to be involved in each of our pro­jects with advice and ideas.

My private life also revolves around cul­ture: in addi­tion to the theatre, con­cert halls and opera houses, I find art exhib­i­tions extremely relax­ing. I stud­ied musi­co­logy, theatre stud­ies and his­tory at the Freie Uni­versität Ber­lin and Lud­wig-Max­imili­ans Uni­versität. Even today, it helps me a lot to look at cur­rent affairs and con­di­tions from a his­tor­ic­al per­spect­ive.
