• KeyboardEase For Boosey & Hawkes Titles

  Aug. 15, 2011

  RMS recently formalized an agreement with Boosey & Hawkes to develop and market RMS Keyboards for Boosey & Hawkes unparalleled catalog.

  Boosey & Hawkes is the world's largest publisher of classical music. They represent compositions by many of the most important composers of our time, including (among many others) Steve Reich and John Adams. Some of these more recent compositions include electronic keyboard components and a very specific sound set. And as with our other RMS Keyboards customers, it is often very difficult for organizations wishing to perform these pieces to gather and program the necessary equipment.

  This new venture will give orchestras and other music performance organizations an easy, cost effective way to perform these compositions.

  The new resource will be marketed under the brand KeyboardEase. RMS wll develop at least eight KeyboardEase titles per year with the first four to be available within the next month or two. We will develop more as demand warrants, and hope that this resource spurs a groundswell of new performances of these esteemed works.
