Crescendo Links creates transformative connections between exceptional musicians and rare, historic instruments. Our carefully curated matches unlock artistry, elevate careers, and bring treasured instruments back to life.
A. Viola – The Voice of Vienna
Musician: Daniel Kim, a gifted violist from Seoul
Instrument Owner: Lady Margaret Worthington, London collector
Daniel had been recognized for his expressive tone but lacked a viola capable of projecting in large concert halls. Lady Worthington owned a rare 1710 Gasparo da Salò viola, admired but kept in storage for decades.
Crescendo Links matched Daniel with the instrument, arranging careful logistics, insurance, and maintenance.
Within months, Daniel debuted with the Vienna Philharmonic, the viola’s rich voice captivating audiences and critics alike. Lady Worthington received real-time updates and recordings, witnessing the instrument’s renaissance firsthand.
B. Cello – From Paris to the World
Musician: Amara Singh, emerging cellist from Mumbai
Instrument Owner: Mr. Alejandro Torres, Barcelona philanthropist
Amara had the technique and vision, but her career was limited by the modest cello she owned. Mr. Torres had a 1698 Montagnana cello in pristine condition, underused in his private collection.
Crescendo Links facilitated a loan agreement, coordinating international shipping, maintenance, and performance scheduling.
Amara’s first recital in Paris earned standing ovations, and her subsequent tours brought the cello to concert halls across Europe. Mr. Torres was thrilled to see the instrument achieving its full potential, connecting a historic creation with a modern artist’s passion.
C. Violin – A Legacy Reawakened
Musician: Isabella Rossi | Milan → Global
Instrument: 1723 Stradivari (owned by Crescendo Links pool)
Investor Example: Sarah Thompson, a private CL shareholder
