Description:

Peggy Monastra, Director of Promotions for G. Schirmer Music Publishers, talks about the day-to-day activities of a music publisher. Music publishers seek out repertoire that fits a certain programming need for the client. They also spend time sending scores and CDs to clients. Monastra also shares that publishers are often partners in developing consortiums between opera companies or orchestras. Negotiating commission contracts, developing a new production budget, working with composers, and setting up meetings are included as well.
