Chronos Vocal Ensemble also released an album entirely devoted to Trent’s work.

As a performer, Trent has played to crowds across Western Canada and the states. A comedian in the PreTenors (a satirical take on the Three Tenors), a conductor for numerous choirs, and a trained and professional studio musician, Trent is at home in a variety of musical environments.
