Mission Statement:
Identify, develop, and advance talent across the performing arts, connecting artists and communities worldwide.
Opus 3 Artists is a leading company managing the careers and touring activities of many of the world’s greatest performing artists and ensembles. The company traces its roots to the pioneering role of the legendary Sol Hurok, the great 20th century impresario, whose dominant position in North America spanned half a century between the 1920s and 1970s. Its successor, ICM Artists, was formed in 1976 as a subdivision of International Creative Management and the company became independent again on November 1, 2006 as Opus 3 Artists LLC.
In only its sixth season Opus 3 Artists expanded internationally by opening Opus 3 Artists GmbH in Berlin, Germany. The Berlin outpost was established to support the roster in Europe, as well as develop its own, and provide better service to European orchestras and presenters. In 2024, the company joined with partner agency Askonas Holt to become Askonas Holt Berlin.
Opus 3 Artists’ talented and respected team includes a dedicated staff of artist managers, booking representatives, marketing and tour production specialists, all sharing a common passion for artistic excellence.
The focus of Opus 3 Artists’ roster includes instrumentalists, vocalists, conductors, composers, chamber music ensembles and touring chamber and symphony orchestras, as well as dance and theater companies, jazz, world and new music ensembles and artists.
True to the Hurok legacy, Opus 3 Artists continues to be a leader in discovering, nurturing and developing young artists by helping to establish the network and foundation for their art and performing careers. The company is proud of the many impressive examples of this long-term commitment to young artists who have become major figures in the international cultural scene.
