GRAMMY Award winning Classical Producer of the Year (1992), Michael Fine is currently Vice President, Artistic Affairs at the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and Artistic Director of the Gergiev Festival, Rotterdam, as well as Artistic Advisor to the Seoul Philharmonic.

Formerly Vice President of Artists & Repertoire at Deutsche Grammophon, he was the first American to hold the post of Artistic Director of the hundred year old label. In this capacity, Fine produced the label's top selling releases for 1997, 1998 and 1999, among them A Hymn for the World and Voices from Heaven with Cecilia Bartoli, Andrea Bocelli, Bryn Terfel & Myung-Whun Chung, and Anne-Sophie Mutter's recording of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons.

Responsible for overseeing the recording activity of the prestigious label, Fine produced many recordings with Anne-Sophie Mutter, Sir John Eliot Gardiner and Myung-Whun Chung.

Prior to joining DGG in 1997, he was Vice President & General Manager of KOCH International Classics, a label he launched in 1990 with the critically acclaimed world premiere recording of Leonard Bernstein's Arias and Barcarolles. The international best seller won a GRAMMY Award and appeared on BILLBOARD's crossover chart.

Under Fine's direction the label quickly developed a reputation as one of the most innovative in the world: as Fanfare Magazine put it: "the most consistently interesting label." Despite his busy schedule in Rotterdam and Seoul, Fine continues to produce recordings, and was recently again a Grammy nominee for Classical Producer of the Year.

Recordings he has produced have won virtually every major award in the recording indurstry, including numerous Grammys, Deutsche Schallplatten (now known as the ECHO award), Grammophone Award, Australian Music Award among others. He has additionally been awarded prizes for his work for the Advancement of Women in Music, and was named Best Recording Producer by Classical Insites Global Classical Music Poll.
