Ariel Artists is an artist management company designed and staffed by classical musicians. Founded in Boston in 2009, our mission is to connect three groups of people: a roster of the highest-caliber concert artists chosen for their original performance visions, concert presenters who value truly fascinating, world-class performers and who showcase incredible performance projects, and audiences who long and deserve to hear and experience the kind of mastery, achievement, and vision that these artists live and breathe.

The musicians on the Ariel Artists roster offer adventurous and innovative concert programs. Situated outside of the mainstream, these musicians have built their lives around their disciplines and have forged their own performance careers by following the unique strength of their artistic visions. At the same time, they have retained their senses of humor, down-to-earth personalities, and above all, their desire to share what they love with other people of all ages and backgrounds in the experience of live performance. Like the spirit Ariel from Shakespeare’s The Tempest, these musicians embody art and creation, pulling color from the air and drawing inspiration from the vast tapestry of artistic disciplines, the natural world, fantastical possibility, and life experience. Their performances are characterized by curiosity, devotion, intense listening, boundless imagination, and in-the-moment creation and exploration, and their pursuits and projects are epic and often interdisciplinary in nature, honoring the connections and correspondences between all of the arts and between art and life.

In addition, Ariel Artists musicians share a strong devotion to education, and to nurturing curiosity, excitement, and excellence in younger audiences. All of our artists excel at designing friendly and engaging outreach programs to connect with specific age groups and foster interest and enthusiasm. Our roster artists have the ability to capture the imaginations of young, aspiring musicians with their own youthfulness, intensity, and utterly contagious enthusiasm. They are committed to empowering younger artists to create, trust their intuitions, and fulfill their highest potentials. Like Shakespeare’s Ariel, the artists on the Ariel Artists roster have the “spirits to enforce” and the “art to enchant.”
