A Cappella

President: Jia Qi Ang ()

Trevs Acapella is an inclusive, non-auditioned place for everyone who wants to try out acapella to have some fun. We have weekly rehearsals which are relaxed, and we often have chill sessions after performances where we choose new music to learn. We mostly perform pop songs arranged for SATB and vocal percussion, but we also do our own arrangements, including Disney songs, musical songs, and old classics. Members are also free to suggest new pieces, which can be arranged to tailor-fit all vocal ranges. We attempt to perform at least twice a term in concerts and unplugged!

Do you play a jazz instrument or enjoy singing? Then we need you! We are The Manglers; Trevs’ House Jazz Band! We play a variety of jazz, funk and pop tunes each week in Trevs. We play at gigs both in and out of Trevs, including at different balls and college days in summer term! We organize a tour each year and go to a different city to play gigs and busk, which is a highlight of the year! We are non-auditioned (apart from rhythm section and singers – but don’t worry, auditions are very chilled). Come along and say hi at Trevs’ Freshers Fair if you’re interested or check out our insta to see some clips before then. We have a friendly atmosphere in rehearsals and gigs and welcome all abilities, so please bring your instrument up to Durham, even if you’re not sure – try it out!

Trevle Clefs is an inclusive and friendly environment for singers of all ability to come together and have a good time. We’re a non-audition choir so don’t be afraid to get involved regardless of what experience you have! We rehearse once a week with a biscuit break in the middle to get to know each other. We really strive to build a fun community within our choir; this includes socials such as chill themed bar crawls along with matching themed challenges. We showcase what we’ve been working on throughout the term at the college concert that friends can come along to watch and enjoy the music. We typically get through 2 or 3 songs a term, singing a variety including Christmas – themed tunes, musicals and pop hits. All in all, if you’re at all interested in singing then come along to one of our chill & fun practices, I’m sure you’ll love it. 🙂
