About / Über mich
Kirsten is a music dramaturgist and producer based in the UK.
She has worked within the classical music scene since her first job at Credit Suisse CH in the Sponsorship department, happily supporting festivals, ensembles and artists and making things happen. Developing creative strategies and an interdisciplinary approach are her trademark.
Amongst her past and present clients and collaborators are Kronberg Academy, Echor Music, Rombach Publishing, Cologne Music College, Baroque Ensemble Solomon's Knot, United Strings of Europe, Barnes Music Festival, Bach Club and Continuo Foundation / Continuo Connect.
During her family time Kirsten turned to writing, translating, editing and website design and added these skills to her portfolio. It is the interdisciplinary approach which she loves the most about her work.
She studied Literature (with an emphasis on music!) and Economics for a Masters degree. In her PhD dissertation she focused on Arts Sponsorship.
She sings in chamber choirs and played the oboe in another life.

Dr Kirsten Fehring ist freie Musikdramaturgin, Produzentin und Projekt Managerin in Grossbritannien. Kreative Strategien und ein interdisziplinärer Ansatz begeistern sie und zeichnen so auch ihre Arbeit im Bereich der Musik aus.
Nach ihrem erste Job in der Kultursponsoring Abteilung der Credit Suisse wechselte sie die Seiten und arbeitet seitdem mit verschiedene Ensemble, Festivals und Künstler*innen im kuratorischen, organisatorischen und administrativen Bereich:
u.a Kronberg Academy, Echor Music, Rombach Publishing, Köln Musikhochschule, Barock Ensemble Solomon's Knot, United Strings of Europe, Barnes Music Festival, Bach Club und Continuo Foundation.
Ihren Master machte sie an der Universität Freiburg in den Bereichen Literatur (mit Schwerpunkt Musik!) und Wirtschaft. In ihrer Doktorarbeit beschäftigte sie sich mit Kultursponsoring, der Schnittstelle von Kultur und Wirtschaft. Ihre Oboe hat sie in den letzten Jahren extrem vernachlässigt, dafür singt sie nun öfter in Kammerchören.
