Trinity College Music Society (Musical Organization)

Faounded: Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England

Trinity College Music Society (= TCMS) is the largest and busiest college music society in Cambridge. They put on two to four events every week during term-time and anyone, whether a Trinity College member or not, is welcome to attend.

Trinity College Chapel was built during the reigns of Mary and Elizabeth I, and was intended to be the place where the Master, Fellows and Scholars of the College made their daily acts of worship, as an integral part of their life and study. Today, its purpose remains the same. The Chapel is used by members of Trinity College and visitors as a place of prayer, and the community drawn together through Chapel worship and work is vibrant and diverse. The building is also used for formal ceremonies and events within College and serves as a fine venue for musical performance. The Chapel’s prominent physical position within the College speaks of its significant contribution to the life of all who learn, work and teach in the College.

Trinity Singers, Cambridge are TCMS’ non-audition choir, and are one of Cambridge’s finest non-audition ensembles with around 70 members.

Professor Steven Grahl has been appointed Director of Music at Trinity College Cambridge, effective from January 2024. Currently he is Organist (Director of Music) at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford and an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Music at Oxford University. An accomplished conductor and keyboard player, Professor Grahl is Conductor of Schola Cantorum of Oxford, and Musical Director of Benson Choral Society. Professor Grahl takes over from Stephen Layton MBE, who served as Director of Music at Trinity for 17 years (2006-2023).
