Hello Colleagues…I’m David Srebnik.
I’m a music lover.
The creative work you’re doing is important. People will miss it if it’s not known, or available and accessible to all.
I work one-on-one with artists, ensembles and composers whose music I truly love and admire. I offer personalized career strategies with immediate take aways and first steps, whether they’re starting their career, or jumpstarting their career.
Together, we We focus on project prioritization, including bringing passion projects into the present.
We are in the storytelling business and I find the best ways for performers and composers to tell their story, showing how they stand out and stand apart from others in their field. That’s how artists enhance their artistic profile and generate greater awareness with audiences, new audiences, the media, presenters, managers and bookers.
I’m especially interested in artists who are thoughtfully and responsibly changing the classical and jazz concert-going experience. I’m also interested in working with artists who play substantial music that’s been “hiding in plain sight for too long.”
I connect like-minded and forward-thinking artists to create potential collaborations.
I’m an idea generator who focuses on an artist’s most important career priorities for the next 12 months, and strategic planning for the next 2 – 5 years.
I offer friendship in a world where kindness, connection and integrity can sometimes be hard to find.
The artists I work with are always front of mind.
I am present, accessible and listening.

“David Srebnik is one of the most highly qualified professionals I have ever worked with. He is the complete package. The ease with which he speaks with people and his complete preparation allows him to effectively present artists to the world.”
Instead of pursuing the traditional path of Publicist and Public Relations and Publicist, I prefer the idea of personal relations, based on my belief that all art is personal – people are experiencing your music one person at a time. I collaborate one-on-one with performers, composers and ensembles to help them reach and inspire larger audiences, and for them to achieve increased awareness inside and outside of the traditional classical music boundaries. I also work one-on-one with the influencers, those in a position to provide you opportunities to get your story out to the most relevant audiences.
In business, what I do is called brand recognition and brand development. In classical music, I call it establishing and enhancing your artistic presence to create a compelling and memorable presentation of your personal artistic vision.
Much of my work also shows up at workshops I offer to music schools and conservatories, like the Curtis Institute, the Eastman School of Music, the Sphinx Organization, Classical:NEXT, Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Young Concert Artists and the Akropolis Reed Quintet Master Mind Series.
I recently joined the Faculty of Purchase College in New York as the Instructor for the class, “Establishing a Professional Career in the Arts”
Everyone has a story to tell. You have my undivided attention.

Our Collaboration
For ten years, I was the Classical Music Program Director, Producer and Host at SiriusXM. In addition to programming the majority of the music heard on the platform’s two classical music channels, I introduced emerging artists to SXM’s national audience and brought many of the leading performers, conductors, and ensembles to SXM’s classical music service.
From this experience, and from my time at National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Radio stations across the country, I understand what people want to hear and what radio programmers are looking for to serve their audience. I know how to showcase your story in the best ways to inspire your audience and those who can enhance your career.
WORD ON THE STREET

The ease with which he speaks with people and his complete preparation allows him to effectively present artists to the world. Indeed, he probably has one of the best track records of this because of his years at Sirius...his enthusiasm draws people in. He is funny, witty, and has been working in the music world long enough to have serious connections. Any artist, composer, or ensemble is going to benefit greatly by having him on their side.”

“I have worked with David a number of times and feel he has a wonderfully warm personality that makes artists feel special and unique.
Being a radio announcer and personality, one has to be very flexible with constantly changing information and make guests feel welcome and comfortable. I have always felt this with David - he is a comfort to both artist and audience.”
