The Board consisted of 22 members, many prominent in politics, academia and music. Its aim was to support the maintenance of a permanent orchestra in Melbourne under the direction of G.W.L. Hall, and for otherwise promoting the study, practice, knowledge and appreciation of music in Melbourne and elsewhere. The Fund existed until in June 1995 it changed its name to the Lady Northcote Trust Fund, and subsequently voted to vest the funds of the Trust within the University of Melbourne to be administered by the University.
