Based in Shanghai, Dengtai Artists is an international orchestra performance company dedicated to bridging Eastern and Western musical cultures, providing high-quality performance planning and management services for artists and orchestras around the world.
The company, founded by Oleg Sheremeta (谢奥霖), provides high-quality concert planning and management services for artists and orchestras worldwide. Oleg was born into a musical family in Lviv, Ukraine. He studied flute and piano from a young age at the Solomiya Krushelnytska Lviv Music School, then won a full scholarship to the National Tchaikovsky Academy of Music of Ukraine (Kyiv). There he studied under renowned European flutist Prof. Oleg Kudryashov, earned his Master’s degree, and won multiple international competition awards.
As principal flutist of the Ukrainian National Symphony Orchestra, Oleg toured in more than 20 countries across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Performing alongside internationally acclaimed musicians, he gained a deep insight: talented artists need to focus on their art, while professional teams handle organization, promotion, and logistics. Motivated by this realization, Oleg conceived the idea of founding a specialized arts management agency.
In 2016, Oleg moved to China and became general manager and founding director of the Kunming International Philharmonic. In a new country, he faced unique challenges: recruiting musicians across borders, planning international tours, and managing cross-cultural collaboration. These experiences became the catalyst for creating Dengtai Artists. In 2020, combining his 18 years of stage experience, management expertise, and passion for cultural exchange, Oleg Sheremeta officially founded Dengtai Artists. His goal was to build a truly international orchestra performance company that offers full-spectrum support and services to artists from around the world.
Since 2009, our founder Oleg Sheremeta has been active in the performing arts and event management sector, and since 2016 has built in China a team of top-tier professionals. Over the years, our work has ranged from intimate chamber concerts to full-scale symphonic productions. Oleg’s leadership experience includes the establishment and management of two major international symphony orchestras in China — the private Kunming International Philharmonic and the state-run Shanghai Nine Trees Philharmonic — overseeing artistic planning, touring, budget management, and the coordination of multinational performing teams.
Our company has produced more than 300 concerts across China and abroad, collaborating with world-class soloists and conductors, and organizing multiple orchestral tours. We have provided music for high-profile corporate and diplomatic events, including COP15, the Fortune Global Sustainability Forum, National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations, and bespoke events for brands such as L’Occitane. We have also participated in renowned festivals such as the Shanghai Spring International Music Festival and the Uzeyir Hajibeyov International Music Festival in Baku.
Beyond large-scale productions, we are committed to cultural outreach. Our projects include numerous educational concerts, performances for children featuring young soloists with orchestra, and professional studio recordings for media, film, and CD. We have assembled international orchestras for film productions such as The Moscow Action (莫斯科行动, 2023) and Jiang Wen’s You Can! You Perform! (你行！你上！, 2025), demonstrating our flexibility and ability to deliver at the intersection of performing arts and multimedia.
We maintain an extensive network of musicians from China, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Ecuador, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Mongolia, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and many other countries and regions. Whether it is Chinese artists or international performers, they are based in China or overseas, we carefully match the right soloists, ensembles, or orchestras to each project according to the client’s needs, ensuring that every engagement meets the highest artistic standards and delivers a tailored experience.
In addition, Dengtai Artists maintains close partnerships with professional orchestras and artist booking agencies. We actively participate in planning and executing large-scale domestic and international performance projects. Whether you are an individual artist, an orchestra, or a corporate client, we provide professional, efficient service and support.
Today, Dengtai Artists is striving to grow into a leading international orchestra performance company in China, a bridge between East and West, tradition and innovation, and artists’ dreams and audience applause. This is just the beginning – we sincerely invite you to join us on this journey and write a new chapter in the arts. — Oleg Sheremeta, Founder of the Dengtai Artists
We combine a global perspective with local experience, deeply understanding how the performance market operates. As a transnational cultural performance organization, we can easily meet various cross-border performance needs. Whether organizing a Japanese orchestra tour in Europe, helping Ukrainian conductors find career opportunities in China, or recording albums for French chamber orchestras in Shanghai, we can accomplish our tasks professionally and efficiently. We believe in the philosophy of “from artist to artist management” — because we have also performed on stage, we have a deeper understanding of musicians’ needs and dreams, and provide thoughtful support at every stage.
Because we ourselves have performed on stage, we truly understand musicians’ needs and dreams. We believe in an “artist-to-artist management” philosophy: we support artists at every stage of their career, so they can focus on creative excellence while we handle the rest.
In today’s changing environment, we adapt proactively. During the pandemic we embraced digital transformation by developing online performance and audition platforms. We explored new content monetization models so that artists could continue creating and sharing their work even in crisis.
As other major concert production companies in China, we offer full-service support from creative concept to live execution. Our services include venue coordination, program design, technical production, and promotion. This ensures every performance achieves a perfect balance of artistic integrity and commercial success.
Our experienced team excels at planning and executing large, complex projects. We manage all details – artistic and logistical – to ensure each concert runs smoothly and reaches its full potential. We handle bureaucracy, logistics, and resource management so that our artists and audiences hear only one voice: the music.
“Art should not get lost in bureaucracy, logistics or lack of resources. Our goal is to pave the way for creation so that the audience hears only one voice — music.” –Oleg Sheremeta, Founder of Dengtai Artists
We create custom, high-end music experiences for corporate functions and private celebrations. We book world-class classical soloists, chamber ensembles, and symphony orchestras to create a unique artistic atmosphere. Our team handles the event end-to-end, ensuring the program is spectacular and seamless.
We support orchestras with strategic management, tour planning, and financial optimization services. By providing guidance on artistic direction and operational efficiency, we help ensembles raise their artistic standards and market competitiveness for long-term sustainability.
We offer custom original compositions and arrangements for film, advertising, and live performance. Combining classical techniques with modern creativity, we craft unique sound experiences tailored to each project.
