| Events 2012 | The major event this year was the launch of the Hyperion CD of Chisholm’s two piano concertos on 26 March 2012. With soloist Danny Driver and the BBCSSO conducted by Rory Macdonald, the trustees are optimistic this stunning CD may open doors for Chisholm music; see recordings for reviews. See News and Events
John Purser’s outstanding article The piano music of Erik Chisholm published in International Piano No 12 Mar/Apr 2012 is essential reading for all Chisholm fans.

Typesetting of Chisholm works continues. Three major works are in the pipeline; Chisholm's string orchestral transcription of the Alkan Symphonie Op.39, Simoon (vocal score) and Concerto for Violin. Can we hope for a performance of at least one of these in the near future? See News and Events
The Operas of Leoš Janáček Chisholm's only book, published posthumously in 1971, was long forgotten. In 2008, Len Mullenger requested permission to publish it on his Music Web. Since then it has had a new life with 2300 visits to the site in the past 12 months. See Writings
We note with interest that Glasgow has become a UNESCO City of Music and that Erik Chisholm is listed as a Notable Glaswegian. Is it possible that amongst the many musical events planned in Glasgow to celebrate this honour, at least one work by notable citizen Chisholm might be heard in Glasgow’s City Halls
It is with regret we learnt of the death of Colin Scott- Sutherland in December. Michael Jones has described fully in in his personal tribute COLIN SCOTT-SUTHERLAND (1930-2012) what Colin accomplished in the world of music and how he helped Erik Chisholm Trust in it's early days.
