Paddington Trio’s autumn 2023 dates
2022 CMF Artists the Paddington Trio have announced a host of live concert dates for autumn 2023 – catch them live soon.
We’re recruiting for a new Artist Manager to join our team based in Smithfield, EC1.
The role is wide-ranging, with involvement in every stage of the development of our artists while they are on the two-year CMF Artist Programme. The post-holder will get to know the artists personally over this period, supporting them from the day they perform in their live audition through CMF recitals and external concerts, photoshoots, CD and video recordings, commissions and other projects. The Artist Manager will also produce marketing materials and liaise with promoters, venues and festival directors, arranging contracts, negotiating fees, producing programmes and schedules.
Experience in classical music management or administration is essential. Computer skills are required, including Microsoft programmes. The ability to edit websites and use design software is desirable. The successful candidate must be able to work independently, multi-tasking and prioritising the workload, but will also be part of a close-knit team on a daily basis. Communication is central to the role, face-to-face, by telephone and email, and the post-holder will need to be confident and effective in these skills. Attention to detail is a key requirement, to ensure accurate record keeping, invoices and budgets. We encourage all team members to attend artists’ concerts as much as possible and build networks within the industry, and this can result in long days.
