Summers Artist Services is a boutique agency established in 2023 to help innovative composers and other artists navigate the contemporary performing arts landscape.

Institutions and structures for supporting the arts have undergone a massive shift in recent years, and there is no single career path that will lead any and every musician to connect with the right presenters and audiences for their work. Instead, artists are confronted with an array of opportunities as distinctive and unique as their own musical vision. SAS offers a range of management and representation services tailored to meet the needs of each individual client, to meet this moment, and to help plan, build, and grow a career over the long term.

A strong, personal relationship between that individual client and their representation is at the foundation of Summers Artist Services. We represent transformative creators, we trust their artistic vision, and in turn we offer assistance, support and advocacy that they, too, can rely on.

Our clients make up an eclectic roster of musical voices, each with a different personal aesthetic and philosophy of music-making. What they have in common is the strength of their musical ideas.

They have been decorated with laurels from across the music industry: selected as Guggenheim fellows, nominated for the GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY awards, honored by the American Academy of Arts and Letters. They have been featured in the Chicago Tribune, the New York Times, the Washington Post, BBC Music Magazine, and Musical America. Their music has been recorded on the Bridge, Cedille, Innova, Navona, and New Focus labels. They have received commissions and performances from the Chicago Symphony, the New World Symphony, the New York Philharmonic, the Copland House Ensemble, Ensemble Dal Niente, and the International Contemporary Ensemble, as well as the Nashville Opera, Washington National Opera, and West Edge Opera.
