Anastasia Boudanoque is proud to announce the launch of Primavera Consulting, a new

arts organizations globally. The company will also represent a select roster of artists,
reinforcing traditional personal talent management with digital and social media,
endorsement opportunities, as well as educational and charitable initiatives.
Primavera's unique global expertise at the nexus of performing arts management and
cultural diplomacy allows it to consult various types of organizations on their strategic
international initiatives, which aim to promote peace and foster mutual understanding
through the power of the performing arts.
Said Long Yu, Artistic Director of the Beijing Music Festival and Music Director of the
Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, “Anastasia sees the big picture but also knows how to turn
vision into reality. I am delighted that she is building a strong new platform for more exciting
projects to come. Congratulations and best of luck to Primavera!”
Stefan Forsberg, Executive & Artistic Director of the Stockholm Concert Hall and Royal
Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, said of Anastasia Boudanoque, "I have during many
years had the great pleasure working with her on some of Stockholm Concert Hall's most
prestigious events. She has among many other things supported me with artistic connections
and negotiations for the annual Nobel Prize Concert in Stockholm in an excellent way. She
has also been of great value when the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra has done
special projects on our tours to US, and specifically to Carnegie Hall. I am looking forward to
many future collaborations during years to come."

"Anastasia Boudanoque's work as an artist manager shows her excellent musical taste,
genuine human connection to her artists, and profound understanding of the music business.
We worked together intensively on many projects, including big orchestra tours, and I was
never disappointed! I wish her all the best in her new enterprise. "
Primavera’s worldwide institutional clients include the Rostropovich Foundation, Shanghai
Isaac Stern International Violin Competition, Beijing Music Festival, St. Petersburg
State Conservatory, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, and various agencies

The firm’s artist management roster features some of the world’s most exciting and
renowned musical figures, including:

whose upcoming engagements include a tour of Germany with the National
Philharmonic of Russia and Maestro Spivakov and performances in Berlin, Paris,
London, Rome, Milan, Beijing, Tokyo, and New York.

Vienna and Berlin philharmonics and two extraordinary jazz musicians. Their TV
appearances are enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of viewers from Paris to Tokyo
and their recording partnership with Deutsche Grammophon has so far yielded two
best-selling albums.

craft at the Mariinsky Theatre and forged active artistic relationships with the world’s
top orchestras including Staatskapelle Dresden, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio
France, Seattle Symphony, Finnish National Opera, and Royal Opera House Covent
Garden.
• Dmitry Sitkovetsky, an artistic catalyst, who has been making a considerable
impact on every aspect of musical life for over four decades appearing as a violin
soloist and conductor with virtually all major orchestras and recording dozens of
albums including, most recently, Dutilleux’s L'Arbre des Songes with the
Concertgebouw Orchestra and Mariss Jansons.
Primavera looks forward to announcing further management clients, tours, and partnerships
