Composers & Repertoire
C&R stands for "Composers and Repertoire" which embodies our purpose to promote our composers and their works.
We engage in the exploitation of copyrighted works (musical works), and not only do we publish sheet music,but we also create and rent performance materials for orchestras, chamber ensembles, and wind ensembles, thereby increasing performance opportunities and contribute domestically and internationally.
We believe that one of our most important missions as a music publisher is to widely introduce musical works of the present time through various activities.
