Music at Trinity As well as using a wide variety of music, both traditional and modern in worship, Trinity has become well known in the local community as a venue for great choral and instrumental music. Our regular Sunday choir (usual complement around 10 to 12 singers) performs a wide-ranging repertoire taken from the great choral masterpieces as well as giving first performances of contemporary music. The vision of the Director of Music is for an all-encompassing witness through music, and to this extent a variety of musical performances at Trinity has appealed to both young and older audiences, and to both amateur and professional musicians. Over the last fifteen years, Trinity Community Concerts have introduced Wimbledon audiences to quality performances by such names as the London Community Gospel Choir and Carlo Curley. Our own choir, supplemented at times by members of other local choirs, holds a gala concert most years when a major work from the oratorio repertoire, fully supported by orchestra and soloists, is undertaken. All concerts are open to the public and have benefited the church’s own projects and favoured charities, as well as larger and well-known local and national charities. The church has a fine seven-foot Yamaha grand piano, as well as a four manual pipe organ, pipe-work by Bishop and console by Father Willis. A clavinova is used in less formal worship. By arrangement between Trinity and the teachers concerned, tuition takes place in the church on piano and organ, as well as voice. The church has been an important south London venue for such orchestras as the London Mozart Players, and is hired to bona fide musical organisations as a concert venue.
