Orchestral sets

Service update: Our performance set hire service has been temporarily suspended due to reduced staffing capacity. Existing reservations will be fulfilled, but we are unable to process new requests for set hire at this time. We hope to resume offering this service later in 2024. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This list details the sets of orchestral parts available for hire from Westminster Music Library.

For an up-to-date list of orchestral sets in stock, search in the box at the top of the page for "orchestral set" (including speech marks). If you are looking for works by a particular composer, either click on the names below or add the name of the composer to your search, eg: arriaga "orchestral set"
