+Founded in 1825 as the chapel choir, the Chapel Singers is the oldest student organization in continuous existence at Trinity College; during the College's early years, it was the only musical group on campus.
+The choir's first public appearance was in 1860, when "they sang Gloria in Excelsis at the cornerstone laying of Trinity Church on Sigourney Street." ((Weaver, p. 109)) The group sang at other church dedications as well as church services and the College's [[centennial_celebration|Centennial]] in 1923.
-Founded in 1825, the Chapel Singers is the oldest student organization at Trinity College. A mixed-voice choir of roughly twenty-four singers, membership consists of undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds and academic disciplines. The Chapel Singers sing at Chapel services such as Evensong and Lessons and Carols and at major College events such as commencement, where they sing the College's alma mater, 'Neath the Elms. The group also performs at concerts and programs both nationally and internationally and occasionally makes recordings. Repertoire includes challenging choral music ranging from plainchant to pieces from the 21st century.
