Performances Abroad

We forward performance notifications and claims to our partner societies which we have signed reciprocal representation agreements with. Based on the agreements, our partner societies collect the royalties abroad for the works of Teosto’s members and forward the royalties to us in Finland.

Live performances

If you have performed abroad at a gig or a concert, submit a performance notification in the Performances section of the web service. For your own performances, ensure that the foreign event organiser provides the event information to the local copyright society. You can include this in the performance contract, for example. If a foreign event organiser asks you to submit a foreign performance notification on site, you should still make performance notification in Teosto’s web service as well.

Also submit a performance notification in the web service if someone else has performed your music abroad at a gig or a concert. For example, a composer can make a performance notification for a foreign orchestra performance of their work. In the performance notification, select Additional information on the performance abroad: My works have been performed abroad by another artist or orchestra and, in addition to other information, also enter Performer name.

Send the performance notification in time

Please make sure that you send performance notifications for performances in Finland and abroad by the following deadlines. Performance notifications cannot be submitted in the web service after the deadlines.
