Worksop College Concert Series

Welcome to another spectacular season of the Worksop College Concert Series - a truly exceptional programme of live performance, run by the College to enrich music-lovers across the region. This non-profit venture is dedicated to presenting beautiful and inspiring music at an accessible cost, inviting both the public and our school community to experience excellence in performance and education. We are privileged once again to present artists of outstanding calibre from the UK and beyond, while also showcasing the exceptional talents of our own pupils and staff.

This year we host three professional lunchtime concerts which sit alongside the pupils’ regular Friday lunchtime concert slot; some evening concert times vary too, so do check the start times carefully!

The series continues the strong spirit of education married with quality and diversity. There will be much to marvel at, from the exuberant virtuosity of the Baroque Wild Men and the potentially unexpected melodic beauty of the Riot String Trio, to the splendour and solemnity of Drewent Brass - a 28-piece Championship Band.

We also continue our cherished partnership with the world-renowned a cappella ensemble VOCES8, whose inventive programming and immaculate ensemble have inspired both pupils and audiences since their debut here thirteen years ago.

There really is something for everyone and we look forward to seeing you in our audience soon.

David Briggs: The Phantom of the Opera

A unique cinema experience with a twist - we are showing one of the greatest silent films ever made, the classic 1925 film version of Phantom of the Opera, starring Lon Chaney, together with live, improvised organ accompaniment from international recitalist David Briggs. Formerly organ  scholar of King's College, Cambridge & Organist of Gloucester Cathedral, David Briggs holds a reputation as one of the most fluent and expert improvisers in the  world. This is cinema as it used to be with a musician to capture the mood as the silent movie’s images flash across the silver screen - an exhilarating evening’s entertainment. The evening will begin with a champagne reception in the atmospheric College Library, during which you will be able to meet and talk with the artist.

In association with the Royal College of Organists
