The magic of the personal touch: About us.

Established in 1992, Esther Schollum Artists' Management has become the go-to resource for international placement and contracting of vocalists, conductors, directors, and orchestras, including tours and entire opera productions.

To offer the best personalised service – absolutely required for her tailored recommendations – Esther Schollum works as a solo practitioner and maintains close contact with all of her partners; this is on top of her close-knit network in the international world of music. Her extensive knowledge of works, period styles, venues and regional and national musical characters is rounded off by her origins in Vienna, world capital of classical music and home of Esther’s company ever since its founding.

Esther Schollum is also a guest lecturer at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna as well as at the University of Arts Graz and the Mozarteum Salzburg and prepares voice students for their lives and professional careers as professional singers. She also enjoys reading, attending music events, and recreational running.
