Trinity’s Western Music Society Secures Two All-Island First Places

The Trinity College Western Music Society achieved strong results at the All-Island Western Music and Dance Competition 2026, organised by the Ministry of Education, Higher Education and Vocational Education. The Senior Choral Group and Junior Choral Group each secured All-Island First Place, while the Chamber Trio earned Third Place.

These results reflect the students’ musical ability, discipline and teamwork, supported by months of preparation and the guidance of their teachers.

The journey began at the provincial competition, held on 12 September 2026 at Girls’ High School, Kandy. The Trinitians secured First Place in all five categories in which it participated, qualifying for the national competition.

The national competition took place in Maharagama. The Senior and Junior Choral Groups competed on 16 October 2026 at the Western Music Resource Centre, while the Junior and Senior Piano Solo categories were held at Dharmashoka Kanishta Vidyalaya on the same day. The Chamber Trio competed on 19 October 2026.

The 2026 competition also marked the Society’s first entry in the Chamber Trio category at All-Island level. Its Third Place finish was a notable achievement, extending the College’s participation across several Western Music disciplines.

The College was also represented in the Junior and Senior Piano Solo categories.

The students’ achievements were made possible through their dedication and the support of their teachers, parents and the College community.

The Western Music Society thanks Mrs Ridmi Weerasinghe, Teacher-in-Charge of the Western Music Society, and Mr Hirantha Jayasinghe, Master-in-Charge of the Orchestra, for their guidance. Appreciation is also extended to the Society Committee, teachers, parents and the College Administration for their continued support.
