If you love music, you're going to love Trinity.
The Choir of Trinity College
The Choir of Trinity College is the flagship of Trinity's musical life. The Choir of Trinity College undertakes a busy program of rehearsals, performances, recordings and tours, both nationally and internationally. The choir also sings at the weekly Evensong service in our chapel during term.
Musical spaces
We've got dedicated music practice rooms in the Gateway Building and a dedicated music room in the basement of the residential Dorothy Building. There are a variety of performance spaces and venues across campus. Trinity College has two grand pianos, a harpsichord and a drum kit. Students are encouraged to bring their own instruments and continue their music studies, maintain their practice, and form groups with other students. Tutorials in introductory piano and guitar are offered to resident students as part of the extracurricular tutorial program.
Candystripes
The Candystripes is Trinity's female a cappella vocal group. The group performs at many of our functions, as well as events in the wider community.

The Organ
Trinity College is lucky enough to have its own organ in the Chapel. The instrument was first installed in 1923, six years after the Chapel opened and has undergone several restorations, the most recent beginning in July 2021 and unveiled in 2023.
Trinity Singers
The Trinity Singers are a vocal ensemble primarily made up of members of the Choir of Trinity College. With a repertoire spanning 500 years, the group focuses on precise and expressive consort singing and enjoy an active concert schedule within Trinity and beyond. Most members are current or past students at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and are looking towards a singing career.
