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.

Timothy Uglow,
Director of Music, Worksop College

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
