The Trinity Concert is an established tradition in Taupō – re-emerging, like many, after Covid-19 disruptions.

Organised for 27 years by piano tutor Vivienne Sands and her late husband Jeff, the concert this year took place on October 19 and was co-ordinated by Jo Paull and other Trinity music teachers.

The concert provides an opportunity for students undertaking Trinity College music exams to publicly perform a piece they will have been practicing privately for months, get stage experience and, for the piano students, have a chance to play on the Great Lake Centre's Grotrian grand piano.

Paull says it was frustrating to cancel 2021's concert, but she is happy the 42 students were able to perform after their exams in 2022.

"We must really thank Vivenne and Jeff for all their work over the years and [for] building up a base of stalwart volunteers – mostly music tutors – which we were able to tap into, along with a few new ones."

Having DPA Chartered Accountants and Business Advisors provide sponsorship to cover venue hire gave the concert financial security.

"It allowed us to keep the door charge low and encourage as many family and friends to come along and see some of the town's top music students perform."

The Concert also received support from the Acacia Bay Nursery and Cheal Consultants.
