The Rutland Boughton Music Trust
To restore the composer's reputation, The Rutland Boughton Music Trust was established in 1978, the year of the composer's Centenary, to encourage performances and sponsor recordings of his works. Many of these, including some world premieres, now appear on disc with the Hyperion Records Ltd label . The Oliver Cromwell symphony - first heard in 2005 - and three of the Songs of the English (last heard around 1904/5) have been released by Dutton, as well as a selection of Songs for mezzo and pianoforte on the British Music Society's own label.
More recently the 3rd Symphony has been performed in public by The Manchester Beethoven Orchestra and Aylesbury Symphony Orchestra in 2010 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the composer's death. The performance in Manchester is believed to have been the first ever public performance of the work in the North West of England and was facilitated by the generous assistance of the Rutland Boughton Music Trust.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or trust:
“Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you—like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist—or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“Nobody should trust their virtue with necessity, the force of which is never known till it is felt, and it is therefore one of the first duties to avoid the temptation of it.”
—Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
