Rental material
Orchestral music & musical drama

We have over 1200 works for orchestra in our catalog: symphonies, solo concerts, songs, oratorios, music dramas and more.

Our orchestral works are normally delivered on a rental basis and you pay per performance according to our tariffs. According to practice, the rental rate is calculated based on the piece's playing time and number of performances. An amateur orchestra also has a lower tariff than a professional orchestra. For recordings where rental material is used, a fixed rate per recorded minute applies. Special regulations apply to music-dramatic works.

Scores can be purchased for most works. If you are planning a performance, it is also a good idea to borrow a score free of charge for viewing for a limited time.

We also represent other publishers, such as Boosey & Hawkes and Schott (see below), in our territory. Most of the repertoire of other publishers that we represent can be searched for information about and ordered in Zinfonia.

Do not hesitate to contact us with questions or if you need help. Finnish customers are referred to our subsidiary Fennica Gehrman
