Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance
Formed in 2005 through the merger of Trinity College of Music with Laban, Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance is a small higher education (HE) institution specialising in training musicians and dance artists intending to make careers as practitioners.
