The Schumann Quartet gets a dedicated Italian foothold without disrupting its established global infrastructure, while Toret adds a genuinely marquee name to a roster that&#8217;s already deep in chamber music heavyweights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is also a reminder that classical ensembles are increasingly managing their business the way pop and country acts do, splitting representation by territory or function rather than handing everything to one shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does splitting representation by territory give artists more leverage, or does it just add more cooks in the kitchen? Could this Italy-specific deal open the door for more festival bookings and label interest there?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cologne-founded Schumann Quartet has signed with Turin-based Toret Artist Management for representation across Italy, with founder Kaveh Daneshmand and senior artist manager Luisa Panarello taking charge of the territory.
