An orchestra tunes, a curtain rises, an audience applauds, there is a moment of stillness, and then the music begins. The publicity work done at Nancy Shear Arts Services sets the stage for illustrious careers, memorable performances, and critical attention. Our office is motivated by a powerful devotion to the art itself, and it is our mission to bring this love of music to every aspect of our work. With 25 years of experience, we understand the complexities of the performance stage as thoroughly as we understand the intricacies of public relations. We consider our work, which is both detailed and visionary, to be a finely sculpted art. The music ends, there is stillness, the audience applauds. We take it one step further -- we try to make sure that the audience goes home singing your song.

Nancy Shear Arts Services develops and implements full public relations, advertising and marketing programs, advises organizations and companies on their general operations and specific projects, and acts as a consultant on public relations issues ranging from special events, programming, and career direction to the launching of new products and crisis management. We work with individuals, ensembles, organizations, companies and institutions, and our clients have included the Guarneri String Quartet, clarinetist Richard Stoltzman, Steinway & Sons pianos, composer/conductor Marvin Hamlisch, and the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.
