Theatre & Performing Arts

From the concert stage to ballet to the theatrical stage, we understand the intricacies and thrill of live music, dance, and theatre.

With professional roots in the performing arts, and symphonic music in particular, we have extensive experience working with internationally acclaimed concert artists, orchestras, opera companies, conductors, and composers.

We support the development of world-premiere concert commissions from today’s leading concert composers, as well as enhancement of underlying rights from theatrical writers and producers.  We counsel symphonic, dance, and performing arts venues in all types of live production and recording matters.  We have experience representing some of the world’s leading concert artists, composers, conductors, and performing arts companies in copyright, music licensing, grand rights, and adaptation matters.

We draft and negotiate:

• personal appearance agreements 

• world-premiere and co-commissioning agreements 

• grand rights license agreements 

• live stage theatrical production contracts 

• custom arrangement and adaptation licenses for popular acts
