The objective of the Musical Internet Agency «Phoenix Musical» is to present to the world, thru Internet, artists (groups) who are performers of classical music in order to help them in the development of their artistic career.
For each professional musician or group a personal page can be opened on the
Web site “Phoenix Musical” . Personal pages are organized in categories,
each of which corresponds to the type of professional activity of the artist
«vocalists», «instrumentalists», «conductors», «orchestras», «ensemble»
etc..
To open its personal page the artist must register on the site, prepare
his(her) information and send it to the administration of the site. The
rules of registration, preparation and supply of information to the
administration are summarized in the «Registration» and «Information»
sections of site. We strongly recommend that during the first visit of the
site the artist who would like to open a personal page get familiar with
documents presented in the «Information» section or download them from the
“Registration” section.

Musical agencies and agents are playing an essential role in the world for
matching demands from theaters with appropriate artists. Today, this means
that an individual artist will have an almost impossible task searching and
securing himself new contracts.
The situation and in Russia also evolves in this direction.
The Internet agency «Phoenix Musical» plans to establish direct contacts
with a number of musical agencies in the USA and Europe as well as with the
Russian agents and producers – organize castings and projects in the field
of classical music and provide the musicians, presented on its Web site,
help in establishing direct links to them. Assistance to their career
development can result from such contacts.
With the information contained in the personal page of an artist, the agent
or producer who plans a casting for the direction of an opera theatre, can
get immediately the key data on potential candidates for the project he is
interested in.

For this purpose on our site, in addition to important information such as
biography, repertoire and a photo, are some samples of audio and/or video
recordings allowing a better selection of the artist. This significant
information will help the agent or the producer to evaluate the level of
professionalism and talent of the artist and make a decision, for example,
for a live audition.

The "Gallery" option allows the agent or the producer to get fast access to audio or video recordings of the artists with the help of search engine, without having to go thru personal pages. If the performance of the musician is interesting for the agent or producer it is then easy to open his(her) personal page to get more details about the artist himself (herself).

Professional musicians should regularly improve their skills. It is known that many world stars of the opera which are performing at “La Scala” or “Covent Garden”, even at the peak of their career, are constantly followed by teachers in order to maintain and improve their technique. For young musicians who are at the beginning of their career participation in the master classes headed by outstanding musicians and musical teachers is an invaluable experience. However, for young musicians, it is not easy to take part in such master-classes for different reasons, financial, for sure, and others. For that reason, we have included in our Web site a special section "Master classes" in which we plan to show video excerpts of master classes from known maestros. In addition, we offer to authors of master classes our help for the creation of video recordings and publishing master classes on DVD’s, without interfering, naturally, with the content and creative process of the master class. In some cases, we might have the possibility of participating in the organization of master classes where we plan to invite young musicians presented on our Web site.

In the "Information" section, besides the general information related to the rules for opening artists personal pages on our Web site, there is also some information provided about the various competitions of classical music which are being planned in the world.

In the "News" section we plan to place all the most important information that we will be able to gather about artistic activity of the artists presented on the personal pages of our Web site.

Occasionally “Phoenix Musical” will act as the personal impresario for the artists on our Web site. We also plan to organize our own musical projects, and invite the musicians presented on our Web site to participate.
