Hey everyone!
So I am playing the Ravel G major concerto with my school and I am responsible for getting a hold of all the parts... does anyone know of where I could buy/rent these? Possibly online somewhere?
Thanks!

The quickest way for you to find out might be to contact your nearest conservatory or university music department, asking for the librarians. They should be able to help you, as they are normally the ones who have to source music for the college orchestras.
That is what I have done here in the UK and always find them very helpful - they will have the necessary directories to hand and it shouldn't take them long.
You could also ask the librarian of your local symphony orchestra if there is one. They will also be able to tell you who the hirers are.
Here we can borrow cheaply quite a lot of orchestral parts through the inter-library-loan system. It is possible that Ravel is hire only, though.
Good luck.

It might be worth trying the old Boosey and Hawkes website - not the Brittens website. Do a Google for Boosey and Hawkes and I'm pretty certain they have a music hire service.
Alternatively, there's Westminster Music Library in central London - run as part of Westminster Library. They run a hire service for orchestral parts and loan of music/books in general.
I can almost certainly say that Ravel orchestral parts will be hire only.

Brian Jordan Music hire out music:

I think, though, that the OP is in Canada.
