THE FIRM
Founded in 2015 by Anastasia Boudanoque, Primavera Consulting focuses on producing high-end classical entertainment events and consulting performing arts organizations all over the world. Additionally, Primavera represents a small roster of artists, reinforcing traditional talent management with digital and social media, endorsement opportunities, as well as educational, charitable, and cultural diplomacy initiatives.
Responding to the challenges exposed by the Covid-19 crisis, Primavera Consulting has partnered with a digital media agency Indadata to create a new venture, Primavera Digital to help empower artists and performing arts organizations to be mindful of their digital presence, to take control of their digital stage, and to use digital media to turn occasional and passive listeners into actively engaged communities.
