The Opus 3 Artists Berlin office has rebranded as Askonas Holt Berlin, effective from 1 July 2024.  Askonas Holt and Opus 3 Artists, together with recording label Pentatone, are now part of a strategic alliance under the umbrella of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

Askonas Holt has added 21 artists and touring partners to its roster from the former Opus 3 Artists Berlin office, including violinists Benjamin Beilman, Diana Adamyan and Nemanja Radulović, Camarata Salzburg, Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and The Knights.

The new roster also includes conductors Ingo Metzmacher, Ruth Reinhardt, David Robertson and Reinhard Goebel, pianists Daniil Trifonov and Jeremy Denk, and the Vienna Boys Choir.

’This is a significant moment in the development of Askonas Holt’s offer in continental Europe, deepening our relationships with presenters, orchestras and opera houses across the German-speaking territories,’ commented Donagh Collins, chief executive of Askonas Holt.

’All of us in London look forward to working with our new colleagues in Berlin, creating new opportunities for our artists and touring partners, and developing more collaborations with our sister company in New York, Opus 3 Artists.’

The rebranded Askonas Holt Berlin will be headed by Alexander Hollensteiner, managing director of Kammerakademie Potsdam since 2014.
