Trinity students enrolled in Film 309 at Trinity created a documentary entitled “Coaching Colburn: Finding Love and Laughter in the Face of Autism.” The story centers around a Trinity student’s cousin, who suffers from a developmental disorder called Fragile X.  The film was directed by Jeff Bemiss (pictured center), who taught the course, and produced by the 11 students in the class.  The film screened at the Trinity Film Festival in May and at the Newburyport Documentary Film Festival this past weekend.  Click here for more.

In 1975, Dr. James Bradley, Professor of Classics Emeritus at Trinity College, started the Chamber Music Series to complement the Carillon Music Series that Trinity has offered since 1949.  The Trinity Summer Music Series has since become a summertime favorite for Hartford residents and the Trinity community, as groups gather on campus for classical music performances in the Chapel before picnicking beneath the bells on the scenic Long Walk Quad after the recitals.  Last night, forty years after the first chamber recital, Bradley was back to see the Chamber Series still pleasing so many concert goers.  Joining Bradley was Peter Shea (tenor), and Susan Zimmerman Lowenkron (flute), who were each members of the inaugural performance back in 1975.   Pictured above, the three stand alongside Robert Edward Smith (right), Composer-in-Residence at Trinity College.  Click here for a full set of photos from the special night.  Click here for more on the Trinity Summer Music Series.
