European (especially DACH) agencies, orchestras, ensembles and soloists — plus Australian/NZ presenters who want European talent here.

Yes. Share your brief and we will identify suitable artists, facilitate introductions and help shape a program that works for your venue and audience — coordinating between you and the European side throughout.

Orchestral/festival: 12–24 months. Recital/chamber (headline venues/series): 12 –18 months. Corporate/bespoke: 1–9 months. Faster possible case-by-case.

For European artists and ensembles touring Australia, and also for selected Australian ensembles and groups, we act as a dedicated local project office — mapping presenters and venues, facilitating introductions, and coordinating timelines and communications between all parties through to confirmation.

No. DACH focus, Europe-wide scope, and AU/NZ partners where it serves the project.

Our primary role is as project office and coordination partner, working alongside established presenters. We do not act as promoter. Every project is different. If e.g. you have a project already in place or in planning and need assistance, we are always open to a conversation about how SVA can best contribute. Get in touch and we will explore what makes sense.

We are not an artist representation agency and do not manage individual artist careers.

No agency can promise that and we are not an artist representation agency. Nevertheless, we work with artists and their management on a project-by-project basis, and can ensure prompt, professional communication and, where needed, alternative proposals if a first choice is unavailable.

We advise on funding pathways and introductions. Budgets remain with presenting partners; where appropriate we support applications prepared by the lead presenter.

Yes. We help corporations and organisations integrate classical music into their events — from artist recommendation and program design through to supporting the coordination of the music element on the day. We work alongside the client’s event team or nominated contact. Where the event is primarily or entirely a musical performance, it can be discussed what the scope for SVA can be. Exact scope and responsibilities are always defined in writing before any work begins.

Our base is Brisbane, but we manage projects and tours nationwide across Australia and New Zealand. Internationally, our focus is Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with partnerships extending across Europe.

Our fees are structured to reflect the scope and nature of each engagement — consulting, project-office work and event coordination are each approached differently. We do not work on fully contingent models. Exact terms are always discussed and agreed in writing before any work begins. Get in touch with your brief and we will propose a transparent fee structure.
