KünstlerSekretariat am Gasteig

Trust, passion, love and knowledge of the matter - enthusiasm for music and musicians are the foundations of our work.

In 1984 Elisabeth Ehlers and Lothar Schacke founded the KünstlerSekretariat am Gasteig as a small, fine agency very close to the then newly built cultural centre at Munich's Gasteig. From the beginning, it was intended to be an exclusive list of selected singers, instrumentalists and conductors who were individually advised in close, personal contact and whose professional path was planned and shaped according to their wishes in Germany and internationally. The entire team of the Artists' Secretariat is still committed to this goal today, even though the list of artists has grown considerably in the meantime.

As a link between artists and promoters, personal advice to our business partners is just as important to us as reliable handling of the arranged engagements or good cooperation with record companies and the press.

In more than 30 years, the Künstlersekretariat am Gasteig, first in Franziskanerstraße, then at Rosenheimer Platz, has slowly and steadily expanded. In 2012, Verena Vetter became the third partner in the agency where she learned her trade. New, larger offices were needed and in 2013 they were found in Montgelasstraße in Bogenhausen, where since then song and chamber concerts can also take place as dress rehearsals or CD presentations.
Still located on the Isar and also still on a steep incline ('gacher Steig' = Gasteig), the agency continues to rightly bear its name.
