Veracity Artists is a young Zurich-based artist agency that aims to build long-term and trusting relationships with musicians and promoters alike.
Our top priority is to incorporate the creativity and individual wishes of musicians into their concert planning and career management, thereby expanding and modernising the agency's field of activity. Accommodating both organisers and artists, we excel at handling the organisation in a simple and transparent manner as well as providing high availability, informal interaction and quick response times. Thus, we enable both the promoters and the musicians to focus on a hassle-free concert experience. The artists at Veracity Artists have in common that they are not only excellent classical musicians, but have also made a name for themselves in other styles (and/or in education). Accordingly, the venues with which Veracity Artists works vary greatly.
Veracity Artists GmbH has the authorization for cross-border job placement from the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO.
