After five decades at Columbia Artists as a leading international manager of the world’s greatest artists and orchestras, Doug Sheldon, together with 30-year colleague Karen Kloster, founded Sheldon Artists, a full-service artist management agency serving the careers of high-profile and young emerging artists, and the tour representation of international orchestras and ensembles.

With a roster of international stars, Sheldon Artists continues a trend-setting legacy as a leading agency in the field.

Our senior staff forms the backbone of our organization:

Suzanne Neely, Manager & Administration
Jonathan Wintringham, Manager & Marketing
and Ryan Brideau, Project & Production Manager

Suzanne’s twenty-five years in the world of non-profit presenting, concert production, PR, and marketing, and her experience on non-profit boards bring depth to our team;

Jonathan’s fifteen years as an award-winning performing artist, producer of over 200 events, Executive Director of the International Saxophone Academy, and his doctorate from the Eastman School of Music bring added professional diversity to our team;

and Ryan’s academic excellence and experience as both composer and solo tenor, and his youth - recently graduated from the Mannes School of Music, MM. - have given us an added perspective and dimension to our team.

Our standards, reputation for integrity, and international profile continue to guide our vision and our artists in the cultural world of professional, musical, and human relations.
