Founded in 1981, Holy Trinity School (HTS) is a co-educational, independent day school for students in Kindergarten to Grade 12, located in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Music is an essential component of the integrated arts curriculum at HTS, which actively engages students, encouraging the development of technical skills, creativity, artistry, and performance. In the Lower School, choral repertoire, musical theatre, handbell, and ukulele programs are part of the fundamental curriculum. The Wind and Percussion Ensemble program commences in Grade 6 and continues throughout Middle and Senior School featuring three Concert Bands, three Jazz Bands, and multiple chamber ensembles. Vocal music is an essential feature of the music curriculum, and it culminates in Senior School when students participate in the Senior Choir and HTS’s musical theatre productions.
The HTS Integrated Arts Department facilitates many performance opportunities for students within the school, in our local community, and on international tours. Students partake in seasonal recitals, assembly presentations, Arts Week, and concerts for Chapel liturgy. Our award-winning Concert Bands regularly compete in the Ontario Band Festival and Musicfest Canada. HTS proudly supports its musicians by encouraging travel throughout Europe every other year.
Music Faculty: Eli Lewis, Georgette Marshall, Lyndsay Promane, Jordan Zero, Evan Morrison
