Trinity's Middle School Orchestra is a staple at performances throughout the year. Appearing at Middle School assemblies and in evening concerts like the Spring String Fling, the talent of the Middle School Orchestra may be seen in any number of venues. For sixteen weeks in the autumn and winter of 2010-2011, some of the work the students did in rehearsals with teacher and conductor Mr. Steven Rochen—in preparation for a concert in January 2011—was documented on digital video. After the concert, several students described their experiences with the Middle School Orchestra.
Nearly twenty hours of video footage has been edited into the six minute documentary you can see here. A unique opportunity to observe the experiences of the teacher and of the students, this documentary provides a window into the world of Trinity's Middle School Orchestra.

Trinity School in New York City has exceptionally robust and vibrant programs in the performing and the visual arts. To capture the excitement that these programs generate and the creativity that they inspire among the students, Trinity produces three short arts documentaries every year...one for each division of the School (Lower, Middle, and Upper). The documentaries alternate between performing and visual arts programs and explore the experiences of the students working in a variety of disciplines.
The Trinity School Arts Channel celebrates the performing and visual arts programs at the School and invites you experience the joy of creativity our students experience every day.
Heads up: the shoutbox will be retiring soon. It’s tired of working, and can’t wait to relax. You can still send a message to the channel owner, though!
