INSTRUMENTAL ENSEMBLES

The Trinity College Instrumental Ensembles Program is a half-credit course that supports the study and performance of music from five centuries of chamber music repertoire. Each semester, groups are formed and assigned a professional musical coach and repertoire to study and prepare for performance. The goal of the program is to provide the students with an opportunity to surety the vast literature of chamber music, and to receive training in ensemble playing skills.

Meeting Times: The Coordinator will arrange ensemble meeting times based on availability of coaches and students’ schedules.
