Grants

The Dyson Trust supports performances and recordings of music by Sir George Dyson as well as other Dyson-related events such as Come & Sing days, choral and/or orchestral workshops where Dyson’s music is a repertoire focus, lectures, and other informative events focusing on Dyson’s life and music.

All applications received by the Trust are considered on their merits. Grants given are, of necessity, limited by available funds.

CURRENT SPECIAL GRANT (2022)

The Trustees are keen to offer four grants of £750 towards performances of a choral and orchestral work by Sir George Dyson.

There are a number of outstanding works in this category including:

The Canterbury Pilgrims, Nebuchadnezzar, St. Paul’s Voyage to Melita, Choral Symphony, Sweet Thames Run Softly, In Honour of the City, The Blacksmiths, Quo Vadis, Hierusalem, Agincourt, Three Songs of Praise and Three Songs of Courage.

Retrospective funding applications will not be considered.
