Music

Upcoming Concerts

Music plays a vital role in the life and ministry of Trinity Church. It is essential to our vibrant participation in the liturgy and it gives solemnity, beauty, joy, and enthusiasm to our worship life. It sets the tone for particular celebrations. It can touch us in a way that cannot be put into words. The French composer, Olivier Messiaen said it best. "The joy of music is that it can go beyond words----which are too precise. Music can express what there is in the soul."

The Music Program of Trinity Church is open to all people regardless of religious background or faith practice. We offer a variety of musical opportunities for all ages, beginning at age 6 through adult.
