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

Carismatico Tango

Carismático is a new ensemble created by accordionist Karen Street. In 2016 Argentinian Composer and pianist, Saúl Cosentino made contact and generously sent her some of his music to play. She was so excited by the compositions that she decided to create her ideal Tango band to perform his music, explore the beguiling world of Tango and write for the band herself.

The musical focus for Carismático is Tango Nuevo, a style created by Astor Piazzolla with the aim of moving Tango onto the concert platform. Saúl Cosentino himself was hugely influenced by Piazzolla, eventually studying with him and becoming friends.

The core of the repertoire Carismático presents are Cosentino’s brilliant, emotionally charged compositions alongside some classic Piazzolla arrangements and Street’s own wonderful new compositions for the group.
