Music & Choir

Classical, a cappella, instrumental, choral, rock ... whatever your style, Trinity has plenty of musical opportunities.

You have access to a range of musical activities and opportunities at Trinity College. Music is an important aspect of our college culture and is something we're incredibly proud of. The Choir of Trinity College is world renowned and is considered one of the best college chapel choirs in the southern hemisphere.

Our a cappella groups, the Tiger Tones and the Candystripes, tour locally and internationally, and we regularly host performances to give a platform to our musically gifted students. Take part in music tutorials, talent nights and musical soirées, or make use of our dedicated practice rooms. Trinity College provides an environment where all musical tastes, interests and abilities are embraced.

There are a variety of performance spaces and venues across campus. Trinity College has two grand pianos, a harpsichord and a drum kit.
