First and foremost, Minerva Artists is a personalized artist management company. The building of a career path is what we have been doing for over twenty years, first at Columbia Artists, and here at Minerva since 2020.
Audition consultations: Michael has been asked on many occasions to hear singers in conservatories and young artist programs and to offer constructive feedback to the artists. Some of these organizations include: Juilliard, Mannes, Yale, Music Academy of the West, Ryan Opera Center, Adler Program, etc…
Personal consultations: whenever logistically possible, we try to assist singers with career advice based on an audition in NYC.
Competition judging: Marilyn Horne Foundation at the Music Academy of the West, Gerda Lissner Foundation (both the International Vocal Competition and the Art Song Competition), Giulio Gari Foundation, Zachary Foundation, Marcella Sembrich, NATS Artist Awards, etc…
