Welcome to the official site of The Rutland Boughton Music Trust.

On this site you will find brief details about one of England's most colourful and celebrated but rather neglected composer, together with details on current recordings, forthcoming music events and projects. You will also find information about the Trust and how you can subscribe for the regular Newsletter and join a mailing list.

The Trust

The Rutland Boughton Music Trust was established in 1978 as a registered charity to encourage and support performances and, more particularly, to sponsor recordings of Boughton's finest works.

The Trust's financial resources depend mainly upon royalties generated by performances and broadcasts of Boughton's music as well as the generous donations offered from individuals and other charitable organisations, without which it would not be possible to achieve our objectives.

We are not a membership organisation but we are grateful for any donations received. In doing so, you may be assured that all funds are used exclusively to further our declared aims; the administration of the Trust is carried out on an entirely voluntary basis. Our Newsletter provides frequent news on events we are organising or which have taken place and features articles of historical interest. the Newsletter can be downloaded from this site free of charge (see under Newsletter) or sent via post for an annual fee of £5. Please write or email for further details.

Our Objectives:-

  • to sponsor commercial recordings of Boughton's finest works
  • to encourage performances of Boughton's music
  • have printed unpublished works

    Trustees: R Sherman Boughton, Brian L Boughton, Ian Boughton
