about the trust
The Westmorland Music Trust was established as the Westmorland Music Council in 1945 by an enthusiastic group of people with a love of music, who wished to promote music-making across the then county of Westmorland.
The Trust gives annual grants to young students to help with their music tuition fees, as well as supporting those continuing their music studies at higher levels. Application forms for the academic year 2018/19 are now available - see the Grants page - with a closing date of 30th June. The contact is: Mrs Christine Moore, Moorfields, Burton Road, Oxenholme, Kendal LA9 7EP email: oxenholme@aol.com.
The Trust produces a Concert Diary, which gives details of as many concerts as possible in the area, providing useful information to members and helping to avoid clashes of events. This has been an important part of our function from the start.
We have overall responsibility for the Mary Wakefield Westmorland Music Festival together with the prestigious Jim Noble Award, which recognises outstanding solo performances during the Festival.
We promote the Westmorland Music Trust Gala Concert, which showcases secondary school music and which is hosted in turn by each secondary school. We also support the Westmorland Youth Orchestra, as well as local choirs and ensembles.
