The new Music School was unveiled to great fanfare in the autumn, after months of renovation and building work.
The department has more than 30 soundproofed rooms, including a new recital hall, three ICT suites, a recording studio, a Steinway piano suite (the first of its kind in the UK), a dedicated choir room for the Trinity Boys’ Choir, and a host of instrumental teaching rooms. The building incorporated aspects of pre-existing structures as a framework for expansion. The opening was officially marked by an evening of celebration and performance in November, with more than 500 guests including students, parents, governors, alumni, staff and locals attending. Headmaster Alasdair Kennedy said the school was “extremely proud” of the quality of music at Trinity. “The new building means that over the coming decades, thousands more students from Trinity and from our wider community will have the opportunity both to participate in Music and, in many cases, to become truly exceptional young musicians,” he added.
