Boosey & Hawkes is a British music publisher purported to be the largest specialist classical music publisher in the world. Until 2003, it was also a major manufacturer of brass, string and woodwind musical instruments.
Formed in 1930 through the merger of two well-established British music businesses, the company controls the copyrights to much major, 20th-century music, including works by Bernstein, Britten, Copland, Prokofieff, Strauss and Stravinsky. It also publishes many prominent contemporary composers, including John Adams, Louis Andriessen, Harrison Birtwistle, Anna Clyne, Osvaldo Golijov, James MacMillan, and Steve Reich.
With subsidiaries in Berlin and New York, the company also sells sheet music.
Boosey & Hawkes was founded in 1930 through the merger of two respected music companies, Boosey & Company and Hawkes & Son.
The Boosey family was of Franco–Flemish origin. Boosey & Company traces its roots back to John Boosey, a bookseller in London in the 1760s–1770s. His son Thomas continued the business at 4 Old Bond Street, and from 1819 the bookshop was called Boosey & Sons or T. & T. Boosey.
