21C MEDIA GROUP

21C ARTISTS TO WATCH

21C Artists To Watch is an image- and awareness-building program for a select group of artists on the brink of major careers in classical music. Each month, 21C distributes a “21C Artists To Watch” e-newsletter to its media contacts, as well as to a list of industry professionals that includes many of the country’s most influential artistic administrators. Several artists from the program are profiled in each e-newsletter and their recent and upcoming activities are highlighted. The program is a prequel to 21C’s full-scale public relations service in that it helps build the foundation of an artist’s image and generates awareness among key members of the classical-music press and artistic community.
