Performance and rental music

Author: Jen L.

Hi all,

I know this is a can of worms, but I'm looking for advice. Can anyone point me towards information on fees for the concert performance of copyrighted music? Specifically, when an orchestra uses rental music, is it normal to include in the rental agreement the fee for performing the copyrighted work? I had thought it was in general, but there is now some question about a few rental pieces my community orchestra had played in the past few years. (We're trying to get copies of the rental agreements again, but because of personnel changes they're not immediately at hand.) Does anyone know what the standard practice is for those fees for rental music? Is there a standard practice? I haven't been able to find anything here so far.

Thanks,

Jen L.

I don't know about in the States, but in Australia all these types of issues are generally defined by the hirer of the parts. They will tell you how much you will pay in royalties (percentage of ticket sales or a flat fee-which ever is bigger).
