Trinity College London is delighted to introduce the TrinityTalent | Class of 2021 | Rock & Pop

TrinityTalent celebrates young artists who have developed their practice through Trinity qualifications in 2021. Meet the Class of 2021. An open nominations process invited teachers, peers, friends and family to propose young people taking Rock & Pop qualifications who had shown excellence in Creative Flair, Leadership or Progress. 

This year, once again, TrinityTalent includes a Youth Choice panel as well as the TrinityTalent panel. The Youth Choice panel selected young people from each subject whose nominations stood out for them. Read more about the Youth Choice Panel here.
