Management and
Promotion
Overview
Mr. Casagrande was mentored in concert promotion by Mr. Lee Walter of Lee Walter Associates, a firm that promoted performances at Carnegie Hall and other prestigious venues for over 50 years. Lee Walter Associates represented renowned artists and ensembles, including Isaac Stern, Marian Anderson, and the Juilliard String Quartet. The firm also worked with prominent university bands such as those from the University of Texas, University of Illinois, Texas A&M University, Michigan State University, and the University of Notre Dame, among others.
​
Mr. Casagrande collaborated closely with Mr. Walter and Lee Walter Associates for his conducting appearances at Carnegie Hall. Thanks to Mr. Walter’s promotional efforts, those performances drew audiences of approximately 1,500–1,800 patrons. Mr. Casagrande has also conducted at Orchestra Hall in Chicago’s Symphony Center on three occasions, working directly with the venue’s booking manager. Each of these concerts attracted audiences of approximately 1,200–1,600 people.
Since 2023, Scott Casagrande Music has managed, produced, and promoted Carnegie Hall concerts for the University of Texas Wind Ensemble, Duxbury High School Music Department, Lone Star Youth Winds, Missouri State University Symphony Orchestra, Western Illinois University Wind Ensemble, Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania–Mansfield, Cincinnati Wind Band, The Naperville Winds, and the Kings High School Symphonic Band. Upcoming projects include the Atlanta Youth Wind Symphony at Chicago’s Symphony Center in 2026 and the Michigan State University School of Music at Carnegie Hall in 2027.
