About us

Passion for classical music, admiration for its performers

Marén Artists was born in 2011 out of our passion for classical music and our admiration for its performers. Therefore, our work is guided by our deep respect towards artists, providing an outstanding personal service to each of them.

Thus, it is crucial to our work to understand artists’ goals as well as their needs, such as a constant and fluid communication with them for the success of their professional projects. Marén Artists understands that our relationship with artists should be built on the principles of diligence, ethics, respect and empathy. That is our commitment.

From its beginnings, Marén Artists has been one of the classical music agencies in Spain which has been most supportive of young Spanish artists, while we have also managed the careers of some international singers and instrumentalists. It is our intention to support excellence in music, and we also consider it our duty to help promote the careers of artists who gained recognition abroad.

We work all over the world with the most important promotors in each country. Thus, Marén Artists work mainly in Europe, but also in South America and Asia.
