ENSEMBLES 2026

Trinity Grammar School Kew Choir

The Trinity Grammar School Kew Choir is a vibrant and diverse ensemble made up of 30 students, bringing together a balance of experienced singers and those newer to choral performance. This mix creates a supportive and dynamic environment, where students learn from one another while developing their own vocal skills. Each member contributes a unique voice, helping to shape a rich and blended choral sound. This choir only started to rehearse as a group at the end of 2025. Music is a central part of life at Trinity Grammar School Kew, and the Europe Choir reflects the school’s strong commitment to excellence in music education. Students involved in the choir typically have a musical background, allowing rehearsals to progress with both focus and creativity. The choir benefits from the broader musical culture of the school, where over 50 ensembles rehearse weekly and more than 600 students participate in instrumental lessons. This extensive program fosters discipline, collaboration, and a deep appreciation for music. As a result, the Europe Choir is not only a performance group but also a community where students grow in confidence, musicianship, and teamwork, representing the school’s musical values both locally and abroad. We are very excited to travel to Europe and be part of the Summa Cum Laude Festival. We hope you enjoy our performance.
