Dinin Arts and Epstein Fox Performances (EFP) has announced a new partnership, beginning 2 December 2024, that will unite the Dinin Arts roster and the classical division of EFP.

The two agencies will each bring together distinguished soloists and recitalists such as violinists Eldbjørg Hemsing, Yevgeny Kutik, Arnaud Sussmann, and Melissa White, cellist Tommy Mesa and bassist Joseph Conyers. The roster will also include prominent chamber ensembles including Borromeo Quartet, Harlem Quartet, PUBLIQuartet, Turtle Island Quartet, Verona Quartet, Merz Trio, SPA Trio, and Black Oak Ensemble.

Dinin Arts director Sarah Dinin will handle all classical booking for the East Coast and select West Coast markets while continuing to represent her current clients. Michael Fox, EFP partner, will oversee bookings in the Midwest and manage the existing EFP classical roster.

The venture will also receive added support from EFP partner and West Coast Jazz & Roots Agent Mike Epstein, EFP Jazz & Roots East Coast Agent Marie Le Claire, and EFP Operations Manager Mackenzie Whitman. 

’EFP and Dinin Arts share so many similar values, first and foremost the personalised focus on every artist and great engagement experiences with each presenter,’ commented Dinin. ’With this partnership, I’m thrilled to collaborate with the EFP team to significantly expand the impact of the premiere classical soloists and ensembles we’re now booking and representing together.’

Dinin and Fox will represent the partnership at three key industry conferences in early 2025: the Association of Performing Arts Professionals (APAP) and Sphinx in January and Chamber Music America in February.
