For more than fifty years, I’ve had the pleasure of

representing and introducing many of the world’s

great string quartets, piano trios, mixed ensembles,

and soloists to audiences worldwide. This pleasure

has been further enhanced by being able to work

with so many wonderful, creative presenters, both at home and abroad.

Together this alliance and synergy of artists and presenters has allowed

us to help create unusual and exciting programs, which have helped to

grow and cultivate audiences. I’m pleased to offer, for your planning

in 2012-13 and the future, our newest list of artists.
