Imagem Music Group to Buy Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization

Imagem Music Group, the Dutch music publishing investment fund, has signed an agreement to purchase The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization. Financial terms of the sale were not disclosed.

RHO owns the rights to all of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s musicals. In addition, as a licensing agency, it represents more than 12,000 songs, 900 concert works, 200 writers and 100 musicals, including works by Irving Berlin and Rodgers & Hart, among others.

The company’s existing management team — led by Theodore S. Chapin, the organization’s president and executive director — will be retained after the sale.
