Jonas Fosdal - Founder and Director of Ascolta Artists Jonas Fosdal was born in Copenhagen in 1974 from a family of musicians. As a child he studied the violin for 16 years, was active in many choirs and a dedicated chess player. His big passion for classical music and especially singing made him take a master’s degree in pedagogics and singing from The Royal Danish Academy of Music in 2003. He then continued a freelance career as a tenor in oratorio and opera and in the professional choirs of the Danish Radio, the Royal Opera Choir in Copenhagen and Mogens Dals Chamber Choir. In 2008 he co-founded Crescendi Artists and the year after acquired Tivoli Artists, thus establishing the biggest artist agency in the Nordic Countries, Tivoli and Crescendi Artists and running the agency as Managing Director. During this period, he was involved in promoting conductors, singers, stage directors, instrumentalists, ensembles and orchestra tours. He also acted as Chief Consultant for the newly build concert hall in Stavanger from 2010-11. In 2013 he sold his shares in T&C and founded Ascolta Artists, focusing only on singers, where he is also the director today. Alongside this he has also been Chief Consultant for Network Service for Truelinked in 2016. In July 2022 he became Director of Vocal Department of Nordic Artists Management until April 2023 where he re-established Ascolta Artists.
