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.

OBOE and ORGAN RECITAL: Zoe Glossop and John LeGrove

The glorious Chapel of Worksop College will resound with music for this rare combination of instruments. In addition to the oboe, this concert will feature works for the cor anglais and oboe d’amore.

As well as Baroque works by Bach, Handel and Telemann, there will be performances of music by Clara Schumann, Vaughan Williams, Floor Peters and Ruth Gipps. By popular demand the programme will also include Gabriel’s Oboe by Ennio Morricone. The magnificent College Chapel houses a large threemanual Keats organ, rebuilt in 2001, which is undoubtedly one of the finest instruments in the area.
