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.

WILDMEN OF THE BAROQUE

Virtuoso musicians Piers Adams and David Wright – who together make up half of the legendary Red Priest quartet - take us on a journey through the wild side of the baroque era with some extraordinary music by little known 17th Century composers in the ‘Phantasticus’ style, alongside an array of high-baroque masterworks.

 

The programme will include music by Corelli, Handel, Telemann, Castello, Van Eyck, Falconiero, Pandolfi, Royer and Biber.
