ORCHESTRAL SCORE/PARTS RENTAL SOURCES

Dear Concerto Division Entrants,

The requirement of rental information for a Conductor’s score and orchestral parts for your chosen concerto is an important one. Time from the end of the Festival to the beginning of rehearsals is very short. Once we know the exact winning repertoire, music for the orchestra must be ordered immediately. Heavy cartons full of music are very costly to ship and rush shipping requests would add substantially to our costs. This is why the information MUST be included in your application for entrance.

Please provide accurate information so our time and work after Festival can be focused on preparing a smooth-running and very professional event to match your wonderfully polished performances!
