Welcome to HP40

Osmo Vänskä
Welcome to our anniversary micro-site. We hope you will enjoy this collection of feature articles, photo galleries and videos which mark HarrisonParrott’s position at the forefront of the classical music performance business since 1969.

Four decades on, we are proud to celebrate the artists we represent from four generations of exceptional talent. These artists join us on this site to discuss the challenges and opportunities our industry faces today, and to set the agenda for music making to come.


With an exciting programme of prestigious tours, and a stimulating and diverse range of projects and consultancies developed by one of the most experienced teams in the music business, the next forty years looks set to be even more exciting than the first.

Please join us as we look back over some the highlights of our company's history, and forward to a most promising future.

Jasper Parrott and Linda Marks
Joint Managing Directors
