The Trust's objective is 'to advance appreciation by the public of the works and in particular the music of composer Erik Chisholm. It set about establishing a base in the UK for Chisholm music and papers. The Scottish Music Centre offered to be the repository for this material, much of which is also in the University of Cape Town (UCT) Archive Library.
With the kind permission of the Scottish Music Centre meetings took place 18th June & 28th September 2012 at their large reception room at City Halls, Glasgow. Following Morag Chisholm’ announcement that she will stand down as Chair in June next year and the election of Fiona Wright as her successor there is much to discuss about the future running of the Trust. Morag will continue as a trustee and Vice Chair but as Fiona has a full-time job it is agreed that expansion of the work force is needed, a critical issue. Other items on the agenda were the finance strategy, increased marketing, plans for CDs & concerts in 2013. See Chairman’s report for details. The next meeting is set for 19th April and predictably it will be a full agenda.

| CD Production | The ECT has promoted 15 CDs since its inception in 2001. The Music for Piano series under the Dunelm and Divine Art labels with pianist extra-extraordinaire, Murray McLachlan, ended with CD No 7 last year. It included the Elegies, "a concentrated and cohesive group of pieces which no-one...will want to be without". (Michael Graubart, Music and Vision). Two orchestral items under the Dutton Epoch label and the 2-piano Forsaken Mermaid ballet CD under the ECT own label have all been well reviewed. The major event this year, Chisholm’s Piano Concertos 1 and 2 on Hyperion CDA67880 made Gramophone top 20 in its first week and has been a hit with great reviews and already two broadcasts on BBC Radio 3. See Recordings for details., music clips & how to order.
