Around 300 music professionals, along with guests from the music industry, professional associations and the world of politics, took part in today’s SUISA general meeting at Kaufleuten in Zurich. SUISA is Switzerland’s and Liechtenstein’s Cooperative Society of Music Authors and Publishers, and the general meeting is its highest governing body. The members of SUISA – composers, lyricists and publishers of music in Switzerland and Liechtenstein – threw their weight behind reception fee-financed TV and radio broadcasters at the meeting.
