Our strong network.

Since the founding of the Konzertdirektion in 1959, Hans Ulrich Schmid has been the headquarters of the company in Hanover. With 30 employees, the office in the capital of Lower Saxony is the largest of the three company locations. Since 2002 KD SCHMID has been residing in its own house at Königstrasse 36.

From Hannover we organize international tours for the world's leading orchestras and also a significant part of the traditional mediation department is housed here.

Under this roof, we also coordinate the activities of the Concert Directorate in the field of orchestral tours and artist management. 

KD SCHMID London was founded by Managing Director Karen McDonald in 1998 in order to consolidate and expand the presence of KD SCHMID internationally.

Over the years, the office’s size and reputation have steadily grown, establishing KD SCHMID London as a prominent address for exclusive boutique artist management. Centrally located in London’s vibrant West End, our dedicated team offers tailor-made artist management to a fine selection of artists.

Additionally, our artists benefit from strong ties with our offices in Hanover and Berlin, building a bridge to our home territories in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. 

The Berlin branch of Konzertdirektion Schmid opened in July 2011 at Charlottenstraße 43 and had its premise at Adalbertstraße 66 in Berlin Kreuzberg for the past 5 years. In February 2023, the artist management team moved into an office in Berlin's City West, Charlottenburg.

The focus is on the management of internationally leading artists and the sustainable development of young artist careers.

A strategic partnership with the Konzertdirektion Dr. Rudolf Goette in Hamburg that has existed since 2013, which came about through the long-standing connections of the Funke and Schmid families and Burkhard Glashoff as Managing Director at Goette.

DK Deutsche Klassik GmbH is the result of the merger of some of the most traditional owner-managed concert series and artist agencies in Germany.

In 2024, KD SCHMID proudly extended our global network with the opening of our fourth location in New York City. 

This expansion marked a significant milestone for KD SCHMID. With locations on both sides of the Atlantic, it further strengthened our reach and position in artist and tour management to offer a truly tailored approach for our valued roster of artists, orchestral clients, and projects in the North American market.
