The two agencies have come together under Sonora's branding to become one of Poland's dominant music-management agency

Two Polish music management agencies, SONORA Music and Malke Music Management, have announced that they will join forces under the auspices of the Sonora brand. The newly-combined agency will be staffed by Stanisław Suchora, Mikołaj Bylka-Kanecki, and Artur Malke.

The two agencies have been collaborating for the past year, but have decided that a unified brand will make them the sole specialists for music management in Poland.

SONORA Music was founded more than a decade ago, and has a broad remit, organizing tours for ensembles and festivals alongside the more familiar individual management. Malke Music Management specializes in early-music artists, and so this roster and the accompanying expertise will add a new wing to SONORA's offerings.

In the coming seasons, the agency will undertake projects with the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, the Freiburger Barockorchester, the Montenegrin Symphony Orchestra, the NFM Wrocław Philharmonic, the National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Szczecin Philharmonic, Bozar Brussels, Seoul Arts Center, National Forum of Music, Eufonie Festival, Misteria Paschalia Festival in Kraków, Brandenburgische Sommerkonzerte, Pražské jaro, Stockholm Early Music Festival, and the Reykjavik Early Music Festival.

Artists on the agency's roster include Leonard Elschenbroich, Nils Mönkemeyer, Thomas Sanderling, Dirk Vermeulen, Linus Roth, and Tomoko Akasaka.

"This merger is not just about joining forces — it is about combining networks, amplifying opportunities, and creating a stronger platform for our Artists and Ensembles," the two agencies wrote in a statement. "Together, we can achieve more, reach wider audiences, and deliver even greater impact."
