Intermusica has worked at the highest levels of classical music and opera artist management on the international stage for over 40 years.
Situated on Columbus Circle, in close proximity to New York’s premier cultural centers, Intermusica New York aims to enhance the company’s presence across North America and foster closer relationships with US and Canadian artists, ensembles, and venues.
As part of this expansion, Intermusica New York has integrated the New York-based boutique agency Wittenberg Artists, whose founder, Martin Wittenberg, will lead the growth of the new company as its Director, reporting to Intermusica’s Founder and Chief Executive, Stephen Lumsden and Joint Head of Artist Management, Aimee Chow, with additional strategic guidance from Intermusica’s Non-Executive Chair, Deborah Borda. Also joining the company will be Associate Artist Manager, Rachel Feldhaus.
Announcing the launch from the Intermusica New York offices, Stephen Lumsden said: "The North American market continues to be of great importance to Intermusica, and we see a tremendous opportunity to expand upon our success in growing international careers in the US and Canada with a new permanent base in New York.
“While we have had a strong presence in North America for many years, this new venture, headed up by Martin Wittenberg, will be invaluable to us in extending and deepening our relationships with promoters across the continent, sharing on-the-ground knowledge, and discovering and supporting the greatest of talents on both sides of the Atlantic, working closely with leading orchestras, opera houses, concert halls, festivals and creative partners generally."
The New York team will work closely with the parent company to maintain a cohesive global strategy, tailoring their offer to the unique needs of the North American market, and exploring opportunities for creative partnerships across the Atlantic in both directions.

About Martin Wittenburg Martin Wittenberg founded the boutique artist management firm Wittenberg Artists in New York in 2020. With professional experience in most aspects of the classical music field - performance, touring, pedagogy, academia, publicity, and management - he brings a wide and uniquely varied background to his work with artists and presenters. Among the highlights of his 15-year career as a trombonist and educator were two years in the orchestral academy of the Leipzig Gewandhausorchester, including many performances with then music directors Herbert Blomstedt and Riccardo Chailly; dozens of recordings of contemporary music with the Boston Modern Orchestra Project; and teaching brass instruments El Sistema-style in some of Philadelphia's most under-served urban communities. Since then, Wittenberg has held positions in booking and artist management at Alliance Artist Management and Columbia Artists. Born and raised in Rehau in Bavaria, Wittenberg holds undergraduate degrees from Staatliche Musikhochschule Trossingen; an M.M. from Yale University; and a D.M.A from Boston University. He lives in Manhattan with his wife and their two children.
