PR Department

The PR department of Konzertdirektion Schmid brings artists and composers, as well as ground-breaking orchestra tours, to international attention. We create a forum for the discussion and development of innovative projects within the German and wider European media landscape. The quality of the services we offer benefits from a close cooperation with Konzertdirektion Schmid's Orchestra and Artist Departments. Our aim is to work intensively with artists and ensembles to create individual profiles and present them to the public.

Our main services consist of :

  • National and international image promotion for artists, conductors and composers
  • PR for orchestra tours and other projects throughout Europe

Our individual PR service includes:

  • Helping artists to develop a personal PR strategy and successful media managing skills
  • Creating a press portfolio with the latest background information
  • Preparing press material for posting on the internet
  • Editing and circulating press texts and reports
  • Developing contacts with international journalists in the music press, public press and at news agencies, radio and television channels
  • Concert PR: publicising programme announcements, review articles and post-event reports
  • Personal PR: features, portraits and interviews
  • Preparing, translating and documenting press material
  • Planning, organising and running press events
