The annual Gold Medal Showcase celebrates outstanding Trinity Laban musicians.
Finalists are nominated by the Heads of Department for their exceptional musical flair and professionalism, and all receive a Director’s Prize for Achievement in recognition of this.
Each year, Trinity Laban’s prestigious Gold Medal competition showcases the diverse talent from across the conservatoire’s Faculty of Music.
Representing Composition, Jazz, Musical Theatre, Piano, Strings, Voice, Wind Brass & Percussion, young artists perform live at central London venues including King’s Place and Southbank Centre, Europe’s largest centre for the arts.
The competition is judged by a panel of Trinity Laban staff and industry experts, which in previous years has included President of EMI Rebecca Allen and Founder, Artistic and Executive Director of the Chineke! Foundation and Honorary Fellow and Visiting Professor of Double Bass at Trinity Laban Chi-chi Nwanoku OBE.
