Alkahest Artists is the oldest family owned booking agency operating in the US today. Founded in 1896 by S.R. Bridges, the agency has evolved from its early origins as a literary magazine to establish the mid century organized community concert associations and promote hundreds of celebrities and noted personalities of the 20th century. Today, Alkahest Artists is a booking agency representing both exclusive and non exclusive artists who are well suited for special events, arts festivals, orchestra concerts, and community series concerts.
