Elisabeth Ehlers was born in Wuppertal and grew up in a musical family. From an early age she was an enthusiastic concert-goer but was not so keen on practising the cello. After passing her final school examinations (Abitur), specializing in classics, and following studies in England and in French-speaking Switzerland she started a business apprenticeship with the Wylach Concert Agency, at the time one of the largest in the branch. During the six years she was with this agency she learned her trade in the sphere of artist management and tour planning. Her ‘favourite occupation’ was the planning of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau’s recital tours. 

In 1984 Elisabeth Ehlers set up her own business together with Lothar Schacke in Munich. Her particular preference for lied and the work for and with Irwin Gage soon resulted in contacts with interesting singers, among them the unforgettable Arleen Auger, of prime importance for creating the basis for the singing department of the KünstlerSekretariat am Gasteig. With, among others, the violinist Julia Fischer and the conductor Václav Luks, she looks after two outstanding artists outside the 'singer's field'.

Elisabeth Ehlers’ profession is also her vocation and she is as enthusiastic as ever. She loves communicating with her business partners and staff, with artists and event organisers, interacting with the younger generation in the form of master classes in music management or as a juror in competitions, discovering young talents and still attending operas and concerts.

Privately, she shares her life with her husband, a lawyer by profession, who is very fond of art and music. Their son is studying business administration in Vienna. When she is not working, she likes to go to the theatre, to the cinema, to exhibitions and to travel. She also has a soft spot for card games
