A lunch open to all, with guest speaker Roderick Williams .

Finzi Friends was formed in 1982 to further interest in Gerald Finzi’s life and work and bring together people with similar interests. They have always worked in close association with the Finzi Trust but decided in 2001 to become a separate entity, changing the name from Finzi Trust Friends to Finzi Friends and becoming a charity in their own right. In furtherance of these objectives they:

Encourage and promote performances of Finzi’s work and that of other British composers
Publish a newsletter twice a year containing articles relating to Gerald Finzi, reviews of CDs and books, and news regarding forthcoming performances of Finzi’s works
Hold occasional workshops and study days
Organise a lunch and lecture at the Three Choirs Festival every August
Organise a triennial Weekend of English Song in Ludlow
Offer members a comprehensive stock of CDs, books and Finzi-related merchandise at discounted prices
