Summary
- Canadian producer Greg Wells converted a 133-year-old church into Trinity Hall.
- The hall celebrates its anniversary with performances by notable musicians.
- Wells feels deeply connected to the small Newfoundland community.
Trinity Hall, a 133-year-old former church in Winterton, Newfoundland, has been revitalized by Canadian music producer Greg Wells. Wells, known for his work on major international projects like the soundtracks for 'Wicked' and 'The Greatest Showman,' purchased the building and transformed it into a music venue. The hall officially opened in May 2023, and its anniversary is being celebrated with a series of performances this weekend.
This Saturday, May 16, 2026, Wells, his son Hayden, and local Newfoundland artists will perform. The following day, May 17, 2026, Wells plans an experimental improvised show featuring instruments like a grand piano and pipe organ. Wells expressed initial concerns about community reception but has been met with overwhelming warmth and support from Winterton's residents, a stark contrast to his Los Angeles-based career.
Wells, who has produced for artists like Katy Perry, John Legend, and Adele, has a deep affection for Newfoundland and Labrador, stemming from family ties. He dedicates significant time to Trinity Hall, describing it as a daily presence in his life. Even global music stars like Josh Groban and Ariana Grande have expressed interest in visiting the unique venue after seeing photos and hearing about it.
