Since its establishment in 2016, Arte Viva Management has produced more than 20 tours for music artists, ranging from duos to orchestras.  Our clients include world recognised institutions, embassies and artists.  We are recognised as experts in tour management, having built our reputation on the production of successful tours by local and international artists (primarily Jazz & 'World' music) around SA as well as to Europe and other African countries. 

​

We approach tour and project management holistically, with a firm understanding of both the big picture and the finer details, crafting and executing a plan and process based on our diverse experience, the realities to be considered, and the ideal outcome envisioned by the artist and / or client.  

 

We offer a complete bouquet of services to our clients and artists, adapted to the needs of each project.  Our strengths lie in understanding current dynamics and artist alignment, strong relationships with a diverse network of trusted suppliers and partners, excellent logistical planning including full visa services, impactful marketing & publicity, clear communication, meticulous and cost-conscious financial management and adapting with insight, flexibility and ease to the challenges that come with every project. 

 

AVM prides itself on forging and maintaining  respectful relationships, providing creative solutions, presenting top class shows, and finding ways to continue touring and exchange in a transforming world.​  Arte Viva is committed to enabling a thriving, ethical and sustainable live music industry and to increasing the international projection and export of particularly SA & African artists.

Prior to founding Arte Viva, Managing Director Nikki Froneman worked in arts, tour, production and project management since 2002, across a variety of areas including theatre, dance, film, photography, fine arts, conferences & festivals in Africa, Europe, Latin America and Asia. ​​​​​​
