DEALS
Wise Music has acquired a controlling stake in the Edition Peters Group, the classical music publisher that was founded in Leipzig, Germany a mere 223 years ago. Says Wise Music’s Chris Butler: “This acquisition emphasises Wise Music Group’s commitment to the classical genre and reinforces the group’s long record of investment worldwide”. Wise Music will own the Edition Peters Group in partnership with Christian Hinrichsen, whose family association with the company began in 1863.

APPOINTMENTS
Roberto Neri – most recently CEO of Utopia Music Services – has announced he is joining Sentric Music in moving over to Believe. He posted an update to LinkedIn after it was announced last week that Believe had bought Sentric from the now seemingly struggling Utopia. Believe said its purchase of Sentric was “its first break into building a digital-first innovative music publishing business”. Presumably charged with the task of delivering that mission, Neri is now CEO of Believe Publishing.
