For more than 85 years, the Trinity College Chapel has been a landmark venue for extraordinary music making in offerings that enrich the life of the college and the wider Hartford community.
Chapel Music offers performances in concert as well as in sacred contexts, sponsors curricular and co-curricular collaborations with the music department, and provides a home for presentations by student ensembles and community organizations. In addition to music at weekly Chapel services, the program is a source of broadly inclusive programing that supports students variously seeking musical knowledge, practice, community, and sacred expression.
Whether thrilling in the sounds of the Austin pipe organ, celebrating the Christmas season at the Festival of Lessons and Carols, or picnicking on the quadrangle while enjoying the pealing of the carillon, we hope you enjoy another year of beautiful music in and around one of Hartford’s great spaces—even, virtually.
We are thrilled to announce the 2021 return of the Summer Carillon Concert Series! The Carillon Series has been a Hartford tradition since 1949, featuring national and international guest artists.
