Irving Berlin company renews partnership with Imagem
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 19 January 2012
The estate of legendary American songwriter Irving Berlin has confirmed it has re-signed its deal with the Imagem Music Group, which will continue to represent the Berlin catalogue worldwide. The Irving Berlin Music Company has worked in partnership for over two decades with the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organisation, which has been part of independent music publishing group Imagem since 2009.
Confirming the company had renewed its relationship with the Berlin family, the boss of R&H, Ted Chapin, told CMU: “Our partnership with the IBMC and the Irving Berlin family began in 1990. We have enjoyed working with Mr Berlin’s three visionary daughters over the years, with unprecedented success in the arenas of publishing, recordings, TV specials, books and events, major revivals of his musicals on Broadway, in London, and on the concert stage, and the creation of new stage properties such as ‘White Christmas’ and ‘Top Hat’. We look forward to a continued, and fruitful, collaboration with the IBMC and the Berlin family”.
