 Its general objectives are the furtherance of knowledge of Delius's life and works, and the encouragement of performances and recordings.In 2004, as a stimulus for young musicians to study and perform Delius's music, the Society established an annual Delius Prize competition, with a prize of £1,000 to the winner.In June 1984, at the Grand Theatre, Leeds, the Delius Trust sponsored a commemorative production of "A Village Romeo and Juliet" by Opera North, to mark the 50th anniversary of Delius's death.
