MPA

About Us

The Music Publishers Association (MPA) looks after the interest of all music publishers based or working in the UK and exists to safeguard and improve the business and legal environment within which its members are operating.

Today, the MPA is a non-profit making body, controlled by our articles of association and governed by an elected board. We also have several specialist sub-committees including the Education and Training Group, the Printed Music Publishers Committee, the Pop Publishers Committee, the Classical Publishers Committee and the Library Publishers Committee.
The MPA has negotiated many agreements for our member publishers over the years – including agreements with the BBC, the Association of British Orchestras, the National Association of Music Societies and other music users, and provides a huge range of other benefits to our members. We also run several seminars, courses and social events each year including the famous MPA Christmas lunch.
In the age of the internet and MP3 players we continue to support our members and look forward to doing so for the next 125 years…
