To our artists, Sempre Artists affords the forward-thinking ingenuity that is imperative to all stages of their professional artistic paths.

Kristin is dedicated to the identification of unique and compelling talents and the subsequent craftsman-like care required to grow a career from its incipient phase onward to the great operatic and concert stages of the world.  Her goal for clients is a marriage of enduring professional success and personal artistic fulfillment.

To producers and presenters, Sempre Artists offers a concurrent commitment based on experience and long-standing relationships.

We look forward to years filled with the inspiring performances that are the result of the union between our artists with opera companies and symphony orchestras worldwide.
