About Chester Music Ltd.:
The roots of Chester Music stretch back to the 1860s when John and William Chester became the first owners of the then Brighton-based company. In the early days the company specialised in the distribution of imported overseas editions of classical music. It was Chester’s reputation in Europe early in the twentieth century that attracted it to its new owner, Otto Kling, and to the many continental composers whom Chester was amongst the first to publish, including Stravinsky, Poulenc and Falla. As the century progressed, Chester moved its offices to London and its reputation grew as a vibrant company interested in both contemporary music and educational publishing. In the second half of the century, firstly under the ownership of Edition Wilhelm Hansen and, since 1988 as part of the Music Sales Group, the company has consolidated its international reputation in two specific areas – as a publisher of the finest of contemporary classical composers (Lutoslawski, Tavener, Weir, Saariaho, Salonen and Henze amongst many others) as well as of the leading composers writing for not only the concert hall but also for film and other media (including Nyman, Glass, Pook, Talbot, Einaudi and Yared).
