FoundingIbbs and Tillett was founded by Robert Leigh Ibbs and John Tillett, who trained under impresario Nathaniel Vert (Narciso Vertigliano).[2] It was Vert who, as Edward Elgar's concert manager,[3] sent Elgar's Enigma Variations to another of his concert management clients,[4] Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conductor Hans Richter,[5] who premiered the work in London in 1899. ManagementJohn Tillett's widow, Emmie Tillett, managed the agency after the deaths of the founders, and became one of the world's best-known managers; she was nicknamed the "Duchess of Wigmore Street".[7] {{Quotation| For the greater part of the twentieth century, Ibbs and Tillett's concert agency was to the British music industry what Marks and Spencer is to the world of the department store. The roll-call of famous musicians on its books was unmatched, and included such international stars as Clara Butt, Fritz Kreisler, Pablo Casals, Sergei Rachmaninov, Andrés Segovia, Kathleen Ferrier, Myra Hess, Jacqueline du Pré, Julian Lloyd Webber, Clifford Curzon and Vladimir Ashkenazy, to name but a handful ... the legacy and influence of Ibbs and Tillett has remained a benchmark in today's highly competitive world of artist management and concert promotion, many of whose principal operators began their working lives as ‘Ibblets.’| Christopher Fifield |Ibbs and Tillett: The Rise and Fall of a Musical Empire.[7] }}See also

By sending it off to Richter, he really bounced Elgar into an international reputation, because Richter was the man who had given the first performances of Brahms's symphonies and Wagner operas; he was the principal conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic. |deadurl= yes |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20070928040142/http://www.gresham.ac.uk/event.asp?PageId=45&EventId=615 |archivedate= 28 September 2007 |df= }} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web |url= http://www.musicweb-international.com/Ashgate/Ibbs.htm |title= Ibbs and Tillett: The Rise and Fall of a Musical Empire |author= Christopher Fifield |work= MusicWeb |year= 2005 |publisher= Ashgate Publishing, London, in association with The Tillett Trust. {{ISBN|1-84014-290-1}} |quote= From 1906, the success of the company was due to the dedication of its founders, Robert Leigh Ibbs and John Tillett.
