KATARINA EHMKI
Founder · Creative Director · Music & Cultural Curator
For nearly three decades, Katarina Ehmki has been developing and producing music and cultural projects that combine artistic excellence, creative vision and professional management.
Her work is defined by an intuitive understanding of artists, people and atmosphere, supported by an extensive international network built over decades.
In 1997, she founded ehmki music management, driven by a passion for bringing exceptional artists together with the right stages, people and ideas. As an artist manager, she represented internationally acclaimed jazz trumpeter Dusko Goykovich, organising his concerts, including a performance celebrating the first anniversary of the Pinakothek der Moderne in 2003. She also independently produced concerts in Munich and Berlin featuring Macedonian guitarist Vlatko Stefanovski.
25 Years of Music at Bayerischer Hof
From 1998 to 2023, Katarina Ehmki played a defining role in shaping the musical programme of Munich's prestigious Hotel Bayerischer Hof. During this time, she was responsible for a wide range of concert series, international music programmes, themed events, award ceremonies and the Jazzsommer festival, for which she served as Artistic Director from 2014 onwards.
This long-standing engagement combined artistic direction, international artist booking and the professional production of sophisticated events. It continues to form a cornerstone of her expertise and international network.
Personally Led. Internationally Connected.
Today, through her agency, Katarina Ehmki develops bespoke music and cultural concepts for hotels, corporations, cultural institutions and private clients.
She personally oversees every project, from the initial idea and artistic concept to artist booking and final execution. Depending on the project's requirements, she collaborates with carefully selected artists, DJs and experienced partners in event technology and production.
At the heart of her work is the connection between music, people and places — creating programmes that not only complement their setting and occasion but also establish a distinctive atmosphere.
