Colorado Music Professor Loses Copyright Suit in Supreme Court
The lead plaintiff challenging a U.S. copyright law says the works of some important 20th Century composers will now be effectively off limits to orchestras in small and middle-sized cities.
University of Denver music professor Lawrence Golan says the ruling will make it too expensive for smaller orchestras to perform works by composers such as Shostakovich.
Golan, a violinist, is also the conductor of the Yakima Symphony Orchestra. He had hoped to have it open the new season with a celebratory Shostakovich concert but now plans to feature Tchaikovsky instead.
