.jpg "GEMSlive_Octagon(no text_3in)")
Senior Artist Representative Wendy Redlinger has been booking engagements at a brisk clip for New York City-based early music ensembles represented by our GEMS Live! agency. Bookings for the '12 - '13 season, with performances in venues from New England to Hawaii, are already well ahead of the total for the current season, with many tours and engagements still in negotiation. The promotion of our "Octagon"-- eight early music touring programs selected by a jury of distinguished presenters-- is behind the success. Securing artistically satisfying paid engagements for professional musicians in our field is a key strategy to fulfill Gotham Early Music Scene's mission.
