Established in 1857 as a modest music seller and engraver, Edition Wilhelm Hansen is now the largest music publisher in Scandinavia. The company catalogue includes the most celebrated Scandinavian composers, from established masters like Grieg, Sibelius and Carl Nielsen to contemporary Danish composers such as Bent Sørensen, Poul Ruders, Per Nørgård, Hans Abrahamsen and Karsten Fundal.
We produce a variety of songbooks, educational books and CDs, and are now a major supplier of printed music in Scandinavia as well as the largest single recipient of performing and mechanical publishing income in Denmark.
Chairman of the board Tine Birger Christensen is a fifth-generation member of the Wilhelm Hansen family. Her daughter Loui Törnqvist now heads our Copenhagen-based company where she continues the Edition Wilhelm Hansen policy of engaging with new media platforms and formats while strengthening traditional music publishing. Our Rental Library represents all of the Group’s composers, as well as such overseas houses such as Boosey and Hawkes, Sikorski and Salabert.
