Trinity College was founded by Henry VIII in 1546 as part of the University of Cambridge. Since then Trinity has flourished and grown, and is now a home to around 600 undergraduates, 300 graduates, and over 160 Fellows. Trinity exists to give its members a rewarding, richly resourced, and intellectually inspiring place in which to pursue their education and research. Princes, spies, poets and prime-ministers have all been taught here, and members of the College go on to a very wide range of professions and careers after taking degrees in all the subjects the University offers. College life is lively and diverse, with students coming here from all over the world as well as from all kinds of different schools in the United Kingdom.

Services in the College Chapel are open to all. It is also used by members of the College for musical and other performances.

When Thomas Trotter received the Royal Philharmonic Society's prestigious Instrumental Award in 2002 he was described as ‘one of the foremost exponents of the organists' art'. The excellence of his musicianship has long been recognized internationally in musical partnerships with such conductors as Sir Simon Rattle, Bernard Haitink and Sir Charles Mackerras and in performances in great concert halls worldwide.

His career is firmly founded on his relationship with the City of Birmingham, where he was appointed City Organist in 1983 in succession to Sir George Thalben-Ball. He is resident organist in Symphony Hall where he inaugurated the magnificent Klais organ. Among his recordings works by Mozart, Liszt and Messiaen have received particular praise.
