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.

Director of Music, Worksop College

VOCES8: Stardust

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 wide-ranging recital connects natural and spiritual regeneration, recognising loss, beauty, love and joy. Music from the Renaissance to the present day comes from England (Byrd, Gibbons & Britten), Germany (Schütz and Rheinberger), Scandinavia and Iceland (Alfvén and Sigurbjörnsson), as well as the USA (Grammy winner, Christopher Tin and Patrick Allen) and jazz standard arrangements. The concert takes its title from a new commission for the group by US composer, Taylor Scott Davis. www.voces8.com
