Chapel and Choir
The Choir of Trinity College have become a nationally renowned ensemble, known especially but not exclusively for choral music in the tradition of English cathedrals and the collegiate chapels of Oxford and Cambridge. The choir sings Evensong in the chapel during term. Choral Evensong at Trinity has become a well-known liturgical event in Melbourne. The choir also performs locally and tours internationally and has made a number of radio broadcasts and CD recordings, including five albums for ABC Classics.
Since 1956 the college has provided liturgical hospitality to a local Anglican congregation, the Canterbury Fellowship. The Choir of the Canterbury Fellowship sing for choral services on Sunday mornings and Evensong out of term time.

From these sweet-springing meads and bursting boughs of May,
Dream, while the innumerable choir of day
Welcome the dawn.”
