The Gibraltar Music Trust has received a Nautilus Award, the Symphony of the Earth Commendation, at the 8th Gibraltar Sustainable Awards, run by The Nautilus Project and the Gibraltar Federation of Small Businesses on 28 October 2026. We were selected as finalists for our sustainability ethos: giving instruments a longer life by reusing, restoring and recycling them.

Our Founder and Trustee, Lili Olivero, presented the Trust's work on the night and collected the award from the Minister for the Environment, Transport and Education, Prof John Cortes MBE MP.

Thank you to everyone who has donated an instrument, shared our campaign or helped us give instruments a longer life. This award belongs to you too.

Gibraltar Music Trust launches to put orchestral instruments into 20 music classrooms

The Gibraltar Music Trust, Registered Charity No. 379, has officially launched with its first campaign, Donate an Instrument. Working with the Department of Education, the Trust aims to equip 20 music classrooms with strings, woodwind, brass and percussion, starting from nursery age.

Instruments will stay the property of the Trust, catalogued and cared for so they can be passed on again and again, with support from the Royal Gibraltar Regiment Band and Corps of Drums.
