Recent Testimonials



“Jona is immensely intelligent. She is ethical, devoted, extremely enthusiastic, creative and hard working. As a radio producer and host, she is able to network with a variety of musical leaders in creative ways. She has the ear of conductors, performers, and organizations worldwide, and within a limited budget she manages to achieve what others do for much more substantial sums. She's outgoing but tactful, and she networks tirelessly. For me, the added exposure has been invaluable. She has managed to bring my music to the attention of dozens of leading musicians worldwide within a short period of time, and although our contract states the amount of publicity she was to do for me, she works well above and beyond the call of duty. Her devotion to my career is extraordinary. I can't imagine finding another person who would immerse herself in my career in such detail. Promoting a composer can be very challenging, but she finds ways of ensuring a clear, consistent and regular focus on my work.”



(Composer Lori Laitman)





“Jona Rapoport is truly one of the most tenacious women I have ever met in my life. She tirelessly works for her clients and works with astonishing alacrity to help them build their careers. She offers insightful advice and goes to incredible lengths to ensure you achieve your goals. Her connections are incredibly vast and she is willing to work tirlessly and efficiently to promote you. I hope to continue my relationship with Jona for the rest of my career.”



(Soprano Othalie Graham)





“I hired Jona Rapoport to publicize a critical performance at the beginning of my career and so far, she has been nothing but wonderful. Not only has she been working above and beyond the call of duty, but she is an extremely efficient and expedient worker. Within a matter of hours of hiring her, she had already put together a teaser and sent it to nine different data bases, my own contacts, posted it on Musical America, and put all of the information up on Facebook (and I'm sure I'm missing a few other things)! On top of all this, she has a deep love for the arts and cares about the artists she represents. She spent over three hours talking to me over the phone and offering me free consultation to make sure that I knew exactly what I was getting into and how the business works, before I signed anything. I have no doubt that Jona will be a great help to my career, as well as a huge support in this difficult business.”



(Soprano Courtney Huffman)





“Jona Rapoport is a superb publicist who grasps the subject matter and crafts clear and powerful messages on behalf of artists and creators. Her outreach includes the most important industry resources and her creative networking ability brings better results than anyone I know. She is hard working, conscientious, has the knowledge and experience, and above all, has the heart for the people in the arts that she represents. I highly recommend her.”

(Percussionist Sam Ruttenberg)

�If you ever look for more opportunities and representation, she is your person. Jona is absolutely amazing and did a lot for my Dybbuk Opera when it was produced in Montreal. She is part of Musical America and Opera America and I recommend her highly!�
