As a consulting firm, Alexander & Buono International enjoys a global reputation as one of the only corporations of its kind. With more than half a century of performance, marketing, and publicity experience as the bedrock for their work, Barry Alexander and Cosmo Buono fully understand the issues associated with enjoying success in the field of classical music, and are therefore able to offer clients counsel, expertise, and results-oriented guidance.

Whether in performance, music education, arts administration, or an array of associated professions, the goal of ABI remains simplifying the process by which artists establish fulfilling lives in the world of classical music.

As the firm has grown, so have its companies, which are designed to facilitate this progression. With competitions for Piano, Voice, Strings, and Flute, publications, a music festival, and a foundation offering scholarships and study grants, ABI is continuing its commitment to helping musicians realize their dreams.

The corporation’s focus is to treat classical music like any other business, while showing clients how to assess, market, and develop their skills in order to create greater visibility and awareness of their work. We also guide them in the process of interfacing with companies, organizations, institutions, and potential audiences through publicity campaigns, and effective use of media. Individual client counseling, business seminars, and career guidance initiatives round out efforts to make sure that we are, in every way possible, helping to not only ensure a strong future for classical music, but also for those who will help define it.
