hal leonard australia pty ltd

OUR COMPANY We are a subsidiary of Hal Leonard Corporation who, founded in 1947, is the world leader in the print music industry. Selling products in more than 65 countries around the world, Hal Leonard Corporation represents in print some of the worlds best known and respected artists including The Beatles, Miles Davis, Diana Krall, Justin Timberlake and Stevie Wonder as well as the music of Irving Berlin, and Rodgers & Hammerstein. In Australia, Hal Leonard Corporation commenced distribution in 1975 through Rose Music Pty Ltd. In 1995, the distribution was moved to Print Music Australia, who in 1999 formed a new venture with Hal Leonard Corporation establishing what is now known as Hal Leonard Australia Pty Ltd. More recently, our acquisition of AMPD (All Music Publishing & Distribution) in late 2010, combined with becoming the exclusive distributor for AMEB (Australian Music Examinations Board) publications, has further reinforced Hal Leonard Australia as a driving force in the print music and theatrical licensing markets in Australasia. LICENSING AND HIRE Established in 2002, our Licensing and Hire Department has enjoyed considerable growth, which is testament to the calibre of our staff who each have extensive knowledge and backgrounds in music, theatre, and the arts. We proudly represent catalogues such as Music Theatre International of New York, Josef Weinberger of London and Dramatists Play Service Inc of New York for the administration of musicals and plays under their control in this territory. In addition, we administer an extensive hire library of classical and contemporary music works from around the world, representing catalogues such as Boosey & Hawkes Ltd, Faber Music Ltd, Oxford University Press, Schott Music, Universal Editions, and Universal Music Publishing Classical. We are pleased to also represent an ever-growing collection of local musical theatre works and major Australian composers.
