| The John Ireland Charitable Trust was
Formed in 1968 to promote awareness of Ireland's
works through recordings, performances and publications.
Activities of the Trust include:
· Funding of annual performance competitions at nine major music colleges in the UK. These competitions have recently been extended to two universities in the USA.
· Supporting selected recordings not only of Ireland's music but also that of other British composers.
· Support is given, where possible, to recitals and festivals featuring Ireland's work.
· The Trust has commissioned arrangements and editions of Ireland's music by Geoffrey Bush and the late Christopher Palmer.
· A catalogue of John Ireland works, compiled by Dr. Stewart Craggs, was published by OUP in 1993 (available from the Trust).
· The Trust maintains a large archive of copy manuscripts, printed music, recordings and memorabilia.
· All of Ireland's known manuscripts, previously held by the Trust, are available at the British Library and can be consulted there by appointment. During his lifetime Ireland worked with many publishers and this is reflected in the distribution of his works today.
· Early recordings, including interviews with Ireland and the composer as performer, are available at the National Sound Archive, again by appointment.
· Following an approach by the Trust to English Heritage, arrangements have been made to place a `Blue Plaque' in recognition of the composer, at 14 Gunter Grove, Ireland's London home for many years.
Printed music is available from:
Banks Music Publications A number of copyrights are also held by The John Ireland Charitable Trust.
For further information please write to: 20 Third Acre Rise In common with many specialist classical music charities our revenue continues to fall from copyright royalties. We will, therefore, have to become increasingly reliant upon donations from outside sources to maintain our programme of educational activities. If you can help in any way, please send your contribution to the above address. All donations will be acknowledged with the trust's heartfelt thanks.
