Welcome

Doreen Lutz Artists is managing and supporting a select group of internationally renowned artists, building upon many years of experience in artist management.

Each artist has an outstanding profile and is an expert in music from the 20th/21st century and to some extent also in early music. Their curiosity for new works and performances leads to improvisation with jazz elements, innovative projects and programmes, and new compositions being commissioned.

Doreen Lutz Artists focuses on providing tailor-made and strategic support to artists with their individual profiles and the personal exchange with promoting partners.

Please get in touch with us if you are interested in any of the artists we represent. We look forward to hearing from you!

Sofia Jernberg: Premiere “The Day Before”
On 16 May 2026 the vocal artist Sofia Jernberg will perform the world premiere of Brigitta Muntendorf’s scenic production The day before at the Odeon Wien presented by the Wiener Festwochen. Further performances in Vienna will take place on 17/18 May 2026 and the German premiere will be scheduled on 23/24 May 2026 at the DHC-Halle by the coproducer KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen Hannover. Performers on stage next to Sofia Jernberg will be: Aduni Guedes, Margaux Marielle-Trehoüart, Les Percussions de Strasbourg and the Landesjugendchor Wien/Mädchenchor Hannover. The costumes are designed by Fauve Ryckebusch. „A party, maybe the last party before the war: In an immersive performance space, the audience forms a community of fate together with two performers, percussionists and a choir of young women. French philosopher Simone Weil already tackled Homer’s Iliad – the original myth of violence in war – in 1940, analysing the dynamics and mechanisms of incessant warring. Her thoughts have inspired the Austrian/Brazilian/Spanish trio Brigitta Muntendorf (composition), Christiane Jatahy (director) and Rosa Montero (text), who respond to Homer’s epic with a contemporary feminist position. Enter a 3D audio setting amidst live performance and camera footage to celebrate together – on the edge of the abyss.”

Vanessa Porter: new CD BETTER ME
On 15 May 2026, the percussionists Vanessa Porter and Emil Kuyumcuyan will release their first duo-album BETTER ME on the Label Neos. BETTER ME exclusively presents compositions by both artists that move between contemporary music, electronic sound art, and performative energy. At its core is a wider understanding of percussion: noises, resonances, and impulses become as important as harmony, melody, and rhythm. The electronics don’t function as add-on, but as an equal musical partner. A defining element of the album is the tension between control and openness. Composed passages seamlessly transition into improvisational spaces where decisions are made in the moment. Thus, listening itself becomes a process - characterized by movement, intensification, and dissolution. The album invites the listener to delve into details while simultaneously perceiving larger sonic movements. Thematically, the project reflects central questions of our time: the desire for self-determination, identity, and visibility. BETTER ME deliberately remains open—as music in the making, between acoustic physicality and electronic expansion, between presence and possibility.

Anu Komsi: Debut at La Monnaie
On 5 May 2026, the soprano Anu Komsi will make her debut at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie/ De Munt in Brussels performing the role of High Priestess in the world premiere of Iain Bell’s opera Medusa. The production will also be presented on 7/9/12/15/17/19 May 2026 at La Monnaie and will be directed by Lydia Steier, teaming up with Flurin Borg Madsen for set design and Katharina Schlipf for costume design. Michiel Delanghe will lead the La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. The main role will be sung by Claudia Boyle and further colleagues on stage will be Angela Denoke (Stheno), Josh Lovelli (Perseus), Paula Murrihy (Euryale), Konstantin Gorny (Poseidon), Mary Elisabeth Williams (Athena) and Marie-Juliette Ghazarian (Danaë). Medusa, the iconic figure in Greek mythology, has inspired Iain Bell to this new opera, which will also be livestreamed at OperaVision on 15 May 2026.

Sofia Jernberg: New solo album VOICE
The vocal artist Sofia Jernberg just has released her first solo album VOICE (label Smalltown Supersound) on Vinyl and MP3 presenting the wide range of her vocal artistry: the voice's scope as an experimental instrument. Using unconventional techniques and sounds like non-verbal vocalisation, split tones, toneless singing and distortion, she creates new sounds, colours, noises and emotions, leaving the listener amazed. Pieces on the recording include her outstanding composition One Pitch, the impressive and experimental works Multiphonic I-III as well as Gurgle, Inhale Exhale, Birds, Mouth Synthesizer, Whistle Pitch and Throat. VOICE gives a proper jolt to the senses and is an overall experience par excellence.
