Worksop Music Concert Series

Run by the College for music-lovers across the region, this concert series is a non-profit venture that provides beautiful and inspiring music at an accessible cost.

Attracting artists from the UK and beyond, these concerts also feature home-grown talent from the school’s pupils and staff.

This year we're trialling earlier start times for some concerts and a professional lunchtime concert to sit alongside the regular Friday lunchtime slot, so please check the start times of the concerts carefully!

This year’s programme continues the strong spirit of education married with quality and diversity. There will be much to marvel at, from the infectious energy of Baroque supergroup Red Priest to the astonishing ingenuity of Harry the Piano whose improv skills can't fail to impress.

Director of Music, Worksop College

VOCES8: Draw on Sweet Night

VOCES8 is one of the most exciting and versatile vocal groups in the world. The multi-award-winning ensemble has established itself at the forefront of British a cappella, performing repertoire ranging from Renaissance polyphony to unique Jazz and Pop arrangements.


This programme has a wide-ranging repertoire stretching from Venetian renaissance composer, Giovanni Croce, to the contemporary cross-genre American Pulitzer prizewinner, Caroline Shaw. The sacred music here takes us from the end of the day into night, praying for God’s protection during sleep, and gives thanks for Christ the morning star. Just as Kerensa Briggs’s Media Vita reminds us that in the midst of life we are in death, so Arthur Sullivan’s The Long Day Closes uses the approaching night as a metaphor for the end of life. The concert will also include bespoke arrangements of pop and jazz tunes, ballads and even James Bond songs.
