Welcome to our Website!

Visions are the beginning of creative power
If you are an artist, the product you offer is your art. This product has to be presented and sold as profitably as possible because it is not only your conviction and your personal contribution to society, but the means by which you live.Mechanisms which only a short time ago were valuable to push a career - like the myth of asceticism as a prerequisite for creativity - belong to the past. On the other hand the constant demands on artists (as well as the average consumer) are steadily rising, and these can only be countered by strategic adapting as the new media has (as André Kostolany in his late years prophesied), by creating new paths and adopting the foremost means of communication and marketing. Networking in the positive sense of the word plays a significant role: with increasing flood of information and satiety of products, the most precious and coveted good is the time which we devote to a person or a message. I have made it my business to offer to all those who preserve and spread culture a diverse platform which opens onto a creative and interconnected future.

Executive Search

Our most recent development which allows professionals in all areas of arts administration and management who are looking towards professional advancement to leave their CV on file with us. Naturally all information about you is treated strictly confidentially and is not passed on to employers without consultation you first. At any time we can contact you when we recognize a suitable opportunity to advance in your career. We place our ever-expanding network of the most reknowned agents, noted administrators, top-level executive placement agencies, and artists of international standing at your disposal. In the same manner institutions can list vacant positions by registering with us, enabling us to present suitable candidates to the institution already in the preliminary stages of the search process. There is no retainer for this service: only upon successfully filling a position will CONDUCTORS take a contingency (prearranged with the client). As this type of service becomes more widespread we can also serve the needs of our clients in the fine arts.

Artist Forum

Ever since we launched the website we have seen how successful www.conductor.de is for our clients in procuring concert engagements and permanent positions. In keeping pace with the growing needs of our clients we have expanded the site, making it more effective for artists and arts organizations to use.
Now it is possible to

  • post contact information e.g. email address, telephone and fax numbers
  • refer inquires directly to your agency or manager
  • post links to existing websites
  • utilize "Music on Demand"

Simply by clicking on the artist's photo, you will access not only their biography but also their discography and recording excerpts. And as always, you may designate CONDUCTORS as the primary contact to handle all professional inquires.

Careercoaching

In the world of sports and business, coaching has been a long established means for mentally preparing for and ensuring peak performance.
(in order to reward employees through advancement or promotion instead of with benefit-gratification. For one of the leading German auto manufacturers, coaching is understood as a bonus for top workmanship in accordance with the motto "the best shall be even better.")
Similarly for artistic professions, be it the performers or those in the music business, coaching can lead to significant improvement of "stage-wellness" as well as increased motivation in one's professional activities. Even with a single session the client experiences dramatic results and realizes a higher level of competence and deeper understanding of personal resources. The most modern coaching techniques are employed to aid artists and managers in reducing and overcoming negative phenomena such as stagefright, performance anxiety or other impeding physical symptoms, or fear stemming from not knowing the next career step. Quite often in the arts, one has difficulty with simple pragmatic questions such as "what do I do next?"
We offer a very personal form of assessment consulting regarding your personality and qualifications, and at the same time give you the strategic help you need to plan your career in the most effective way. Our knowledge of all international contexts in the arts widens the scope of our consultation. Our experience has shown that in most cases both the psychological and the strategic approach in accordance lead to the essential professional thrust.
