Columbia Artists

Creativity, innovation, integrity, and a passion for excellence have been driving our success since the company was founded in 1930. Dedication to these founding principles has burnished the reputation of Columbia Artists Management Inc. as the worldwide trusted industry leader in the performing arts.Our managers, producers, and agents serve an unsurpassed roster of top instrumentalists, conductors, opera singers and other vocalists, orchestras, theatrical and musical attractions, and dance ensembles of all kinds. Hand–in–glove with our clientele, Columbia Artists shapes individual careers and develops national and international touring and performance strategies.Columbia Artists continues to honor its history even as it looks boldly to the future. Columbia Artists was founded in 1930 in the depth of the Great Depression, by broadcasting pioneer William S. Paley and the impresario Arthur Judson bringing together eight leading independent managers to build a business model comparable to the then Hollywood studio system.
