The choir frequently performs at the BBC Proms and alongside the world’s top orchestras. Soloists from the choir are famed for their concert and operatic appearances and are often called upon to sing on the soundtracks of major film scores. The tour schedule takes in Europe, the USA and Asia, and programmes range from the Renaissance to the present day, with frequent commissions from leading composers. Recordings include John Rutter’s Bang, an opera written for the boys, Stravinsky’s Mass for Deutsche Grammophon, conducted by Leonard Bernstein, and the choir can be heard on the soundtracks of numerous feature films including Maleficent, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I and Part 2, San Andreas and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. TV and radio appearances include Messiah from the Foundling Hospital with the Gabrieli Consort, The Pride of Britain Awards, Children in Need and the Royal Variety Performance. 　　Twenty younger members of Trinity Boys Choir from Trinity School, Croydon, recorded songs for the soundtrack of the new Disney blockbuster, Maleficent, starring Angelina Jolie. The score is by renowned American film composer, James Newton Howard who also wrote the music for King Kong, Batman Begins, The Hunger Games… 　　Earlier this year the pupils spent two exciting evenings recording at Hampstead’s Air Studios, a Victorian church with fantastic acoustics famously purchased and converted by Beatles producer, George Martin. As in all Disney films the music for Maleficent is very atmospheric. The film track is now available on CD and on Spotify. 　　David Swinson, Director of Music at Trinity, said: “The boys’ choral music plays an important part in the sound track, including a notable solo by star treble, William Gardner (age 13) who sings as Sleeping Beauty pricks her finger. I am very proud of all twenty choristers for working so well under pressure and with a difficult but exciting score.” 　　Composer James Newton Howard (pictured in rehearsal with pupils) praised Trinity Boys Choir saying: “It was a pleasure to work with such skilled professionals.” 　　Twelve-year old Amiri Harewood (Year 7), member of Trinity Boys Choir, said: “Recording the sound track for Maleficent was a great experience even though it was really hard work. I’m really looking forward to seeing the film!”
