The Feeney Trust has a 60-year history of supporting the creation of new works, to be premiered in Birmingham and to go on to reach audiences across the country and beyond.
The collection of scores held in the Special Collections at the University of Birmingham, demonstrates how Birmingham organisations such as CBSO have brought to life works of some of the most celebrated composers of the age - such as Sir Michael Tippett, Richard Rodney Bennett, John Joubert, Oliver Knussen.
At the start of the new millennium the Feeney Trust widened its commissioning policy to support choirs, opera, the CBSO's Youth Orchestra and Birmingham Royal Ballet.
