WELCOME TO THE FINZI TRUSTThe 20th century English composer Gerald Finzi is renowned for the lyricism of his songs (especially settings of poems by Thomas Hardy) and instrumental writing. A lover of reading, collector of books and conservationist - whether of 18th century music or apples - Finzi joined with his wife, the artist and poet Joyce (Joy) Black, in developing amateur music-making, using their home to support the creativity of others.
Founded in 1969, the Gerald Finzi Trust (registered no. 313047) seeks to promote the music of Gerald Finzi and to further his ideals. |

A stalwart and energetic supporter of its work, tireless advocate for British music and charismatic lodestar for the generations that followed her, she will be sorely missed by all at The Finzi Trust, and we wish to extend our sincere condolences to her family, colleagues and many friends worldwide.
