Birdsong
Birdsong Music Publishing is a full, bespoke publishing and (if needed) management service that is tailored to the composer’s needs.
We help composers to find and negotiate commissioning opportunities, to get engaged in interesting projects and to secure sync deals. In addition, our team can offer individual composer management offering the opportunity to benefit from the additional support a full service management company can offer.
We make sheet music available and hire out scores and, importantly, we provide efficient and thorough royalty collection and distribution through our partnership with Faber Music.
Our aim is to protect copyright, nurture development and encourage creativity. We ensure that the composer’s work is not only being properly and professionally managed but also that income is both generated and collected. We work with composers through every aspect of their careers from the creative to the commercial.

Marketing and Media
Effective marketing and promotion is a vital component in any career. We help artists develop a strategy that plays to their strengths, offering guidance on photography, PR, websites and social media. We also design and produce print and digital materials to support tours and projects. Our understanding of media rights and recording helps clients navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by a rapidly changing industry.
To support artists in the ever-changing digital landscape, we offer a social media and website management service to help them build their digital presence in a way that is natural and authentic to them. Through this service, we aim to create, curate and strategically grow a consistent brand presence for artists, bringing together all the various facets of an artist’s career and personality.
Other initiatives, such as HP Group’s Google Arts & Culture page and The Culture Bar podcast series, illustrate our commitment to introducing classical music and the arts to new and wider audiences through a hub of digitised culture.
Creative Consultancy Services
We work with a wide range of cultural institutions to help them develop exciting content, realise innovative projects and formulate creative responses to the challenges they face.
Drawing upon a wealth of experience and expertise across the company – including artistic planning, tour and project management, marketing, sponsorship, strategic, financial and organisational planning and structuring – we put together a bespoke team for each project to work in partnership with all stakeholders to set out objectives and deliver real change.
Our Responsibilities
We want HarrisonParrott Group to be a diverse, inclusive organisation that attracts and retains outstanding talent for our in-house colleagues, artists, and partners. We are committed to embedding Inclusion & Access (I&A) at the heart of HPG’s practice, including staff recruitment, roster development and projects. We approach I&A with sincerity, humility and the knowledge that there is still much to learn. You can learn more about our activities here.
In 2019 we launched the HarrisonParrott Foundation to create initiatives that champion diversity and inclusivity within the arts. Fostering a vibrant and inclusive artistic landscape, The HarrisonParrott Foundation envisions a world where diversity is not merely acknowledged but celebrated within the arts. HPF aspires to be a catalyst for transformative change, challenging perceptions, encouraging debate, and ensuring equal access for all.
We feel it‘s vital to support and nurture young talent. We partner with Polyarts through their Talent Development Programme.
We support our staff in their charitable work – not just financially, but in providing a flexible working environment that gives them time to help the good causes they feel passionate about.
Sustainability
We believe in the power of classical music and the arts to make real changes to the climate emergency.
In 2019, we set up an internal Environmental Working Group that meets every quarter to discuss HP Group’s carbon footprint and reduction strategies, keep our ‘offices green’, and filter our knowledge to our artists and touring clients.
HarrisonParrott Group’s carbon footprint was assessed for the fourth time in January 2024 by Carbon Footprint Ltd, and has been awarded a Carbon Neutral Plus status for carbon offsetting.

In 2021, we signed Music Declares Emergency’s declaration as part of our commitment to a sustainable future here.
