The working library of the orchestral world.
Instrumentation, economics, and performance intelligence for professional orchestras and opera houses. Built to international orchestral standards by people who conduct.
The canon outgrew its catalogue.
Reference books list instrumentation. They do not cost a hire, track a cycle, or remember what sold. Ginastera does all three, in one place.
The software
One engine, five instruments.
Catalogue
3,982 works across 784 composers and growing, in standard international instrumentation shorthand, every edition sourced from IMSLP to Bärenreiter. Unverified scoring says TBD, never a guess.
Season Planner
Olympic repertoire on four-year cycles, festival works on six. Status is earned from box-office evidence, not assumed.
Performance Log
Documented concerts from the 1824 premiere of the Ninth to last season, navigable by conductor, orchestra, or piece.

Your strings, your auxiliaries, your extras: per-player services, rates, and contacts, costed before you commit.

Every great work leaves a trace.
Scoring in standard shorthand, timings, editions, premiere history, and what it costs your roster to play it. When data is unverified it says TBD, never a guess.
Built for the people who build seasons.
