Sir George Dyson Trust

 

The Sir George Dyson Trust was established in 1988 to advance the understanding and appreciation of music by the composer and former Director of the Royal College of Music, Sir George Dyson (1883-1964).

The Trust offers financial awards based solely on the merit of the application and, in addition to performance-based projects, encourages the academic study of Dyson's manuscripts, writings, scores, drafts and memoranda.

Recent projects supported by the Trust include critically acclaimed recordings, performances, choral workshops, and study days.
