  • About

    Kirsten has been involved in the classical music scene since her first job at Credit Suisse, Zurich, in the Arts Sponsorship department, happily supporting festivals, ensembles and artists and making things happen. Developing creative strategies and an interdisciplinary approach are her trademarks.

A recent commission for composer Héloïse Werner (a beautiful object), culminating in a world premiere with harpsichordist Pawel Siwszak and ensemble, was a recent highlight.

    Kirsten holds a Master’s degree in Literature (with a focus on music), a BA in Economics, and her PhD dissertation explored Arts Sponsorship. A passionate musician herself, she sings in chamber choirs and played the oboe in another life.

    a creative workshop for Ensembles and Solo Artists

    How does a classical music ensemble, quartet or solo artist stand out in today’s competitive landscape? How can you communicate your unique artistic identity in a way that captivates audiences and builds long-term engagement? This workshop will help you answer these questions by guiding you through the process of defining your artistic vision, creating a cohesive strategy, and refining what you offer your audience.

    Define, Design, Connect

    Clarify and define your core artistic identity and mission

    Develop or refine a compelling brand narrative and visual identity

    Align your communication strategy with your (brand) values

    Enhance your concert concept and design

    Know your Audience

    Who do you attract to your performances, and who do you want to reach? Consider the different types of listeners— the curious visitor, the engaged concertgoer, the devoted aficionado, or the accidental spectator. Each audience member brings unique expectations and perspectives. Understanding them helps shape meaningful connections.

    Branding is your artistic personality in the spotlight—it’s how you tell your story, stand out from the crowd, and make sure people join and remember you (for all the right reasons!).
