Trinity College and Janet Clarke Hall

honour Clarke family

At an afternoon tea in July, Trinity College and Janet Clarke Hall announced a joint
gift made to Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust to assist in the restoration of
Sir William Clarke and Janet Lady Clarke’s historic monument at Melbourne General
Cemetery. The gift reflected gratitude for the Clarkes’ generous donations to both
Colleges and the wider community.

Richardson
Lecture-Recital

In December, the College was once
again delighted to welcome Kenneth
Moore Memorial Music Scholar Dr Anna
Goldsworthy for an afternoon of music and
conversation. Anna’s recently published
essay for The Monthly, ‘The Lost Art of
Listening’, was the subject of this lecture-
recital, in which discourse she questioned
whether classical music has become
irrelevant in our fast-paced, digitised
society as our attention span shrinks to
fit the smartphone screen. But between
masterfully played musical excerpts and
eloquent discussion Anna held a captivated
audience of College alumni and friends,
proving the art of listening is alive and well
at Janet Clarke Hall!

We hope that you enjoy the
accompanying CD celebrating Anna’s
Dr Powell and Trinity Warden Prof Ken Hinchcliff with Clarke family descendants long association with the College
Mrs Louise Morris (JCH, Clarke 1972) and Sir Rupert Clarke (TC, 1966)
