music event


Explanation:
I would normally agree with the first answerers' suggested terms for "the person who organises the music". However, strange to say, it is the *event* - the Braunschweiger Kammermusikpodium - that is described as the "Musikveranstalter" here. Either this is a usage I haven't encountered before - meaning the festival as "music provider", perhaps - or it's just a mistake for "Musikveranstaltung" - "music event", which would seem to be the more normal term to use in this context. Either way, "music event" would cover it.

" ... and is well-established as one of the region's most high-profile classical music events".

disagree  Bernd Runge: Not really ;-) The Braunschweiger Kammermusikpodium (KMP) is a GmbH and as such it can very well be the promoter, etc. - Sorry.

music promoter/impresario


Explanation:
"promoter" - entrepreneur

"impresario" - one who organizes and manages public entertainments.

Of the two, promoter is perhaps the more up-to-date term, impresario seems to have fallen into disuse over the past several years.

agree  Aisha Prigann: Since the KMP is both a company and an event, I think concert promoter could work in this context.
