The new partnership will see each agency’s vocal departments work together to ‘pool expertise and resources’
Artists’ agencies IMG Artists and TACT Artists Management have today announced a ‘strategic alliance’ which will see each agency’s vocal departments work together to ‘pool expertise and resources’.
The new alliance is designed to offer clients from both agencies a combined, ‘broader international network’, plus access to expertise across both companies. The new partnership builds on existing collaboration between the two companies.
TACT Artists Management managing director Dari Dimova said: ‘[The] collaborative spirit, which is an intrinsic part of the TACT strategy, led to an initial partnership with IMGA for a couple of artists. This fruitful cooperation inspired us to look for a broader alliance with IMGA, with whom we share the same ethics, passion and professionalism.’
IMG Artists CEO John Evans added: ‘Alliances have always been a tool for growth and by joining together with TACT’s vocal department, IMG Artists will continue to meet the changing needs of our artists whether they be one of great singers of our time or a young artist we are nurturing and supporting in the early stages of their career.’
With roots dating back to 1979, IMG Artists opened its London offices in 1991. Now, with a team across three continents, the agency’s vocal division now counts among its clients Angela Gheorghiu, Chen Reiss, Lawrence Brownlee, Anna Devin, Fleur Barron, Axelle Fanyo and Renée Fleming.
TACT also has a broad reach with offices across Europe, as well as almost two decades of experience fostering careers of emerging talent including Aigul Akhmetshina, Rihab Chaieb, Yulia Matochkina, Ewa Płonka, Long Long, Derek Welton; and bass Adam Palka. Nearly ensures TACT has the depth of expertise, the discerning ear and extensive network to nourish personal relationships with artists and provide strategic support to promoters.
