PRIMO ARTISTS SIGNS VIOLINIST RANDALL GOOSBY FOR JOINT GENERAL MANAGEMENT WITH HARRISON PARROTT
NEW YORK (June 24, 2021) – Primo Artists announces the signing of 24-year-old American violinist Randall Goosby to its roster for Joint General Management with HarrisonParrott effective immediately.
“For me, personally, music has been a way to inspire others” – Randall Goosby’s own words sum up perfectly his commitment to being an artist who makes a difference.
Signed in 2020 as an exclusive Decca Classics artist, Randall Goosby is acclaimed for the sensitivity and intensity of his musicianship alongside his determination to make music more inclusive and accessible, as well as bringing the music of under-represented composers to light. This Friday, June 25, 2021 marks the release of his debut album for Decca entitled Roots, a celebration of African-American music which explores its evolution from the spiritual through to present-day compositions.
On June 6, 2021, Goosby performed on the 43rd Kennedy Center Honors ceremony which was broadcast on CBS for an audience of over 5 million television viewers.
Highlights of the 2021/22 season include debuts with the Los Angeles Philharmonic under Gustavo Dudamel at the Hollywood Bowl, Baltimore Symphony under Dalia Stasevska, Detroit Symphony under Jader Bignamini, London Philharmonic Orchestra and Philharmonia Orchestra. He makes recital appearances at London’s Wigmore Hall, New York’s 92nd Street Y, San Francisco Symphony’s Davies Symphony Hall and Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
He has performed with orchestras across the United States such as the New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Nashville Symphony and the New World Symphony. Recital appearances have included the Kennedy Center, Kravis Center and Wigmore Hall.
Charlotte Lee, Founder of Primo Artists, said: “Randall Goosby has a winning combination of exquisite tone, intense sound and transcendental playing coupled with a deep commitment and pioneering spirit to engage new audiences. He is a true 21st-century artist. I am delighted to welcome Randall to the Primo Artists family as the first addition to our violin roster. We eagerly look forward to working with Randall, the team at Decca Classics, and our colleagues at HarrisonParrott in this joint general management partnership.”
Randall Goosby said: “I am truly honored to be joining forces with Primo Artists and HarrisonParrott for joint general management, and humbled to be part of such esteemed and storied artist rosters. I feel so blessed to have their support in realizing my dreams and aspirations, not only for myself, but also for the culture of classical music. I am full of excitement for what the future holds, and cannot wait to embark on this new chapter with such dedicated and experienced creative partners.”
Randall Goosby’s General Management will be shared evenly by Lydia Connolly/Katie Cardell-Oliver of HarrisonParrott and Charlotte Lee of Primo Artists. HarrisonParrott will handle Europe, Asia and Australasia and Primo Artists will handle North/South America, and the agencies will work jointly together with the artist on all career development strategy and decisions.
