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 all over the UK and beyond, these concerts also feature home-grown talent from the school’s pupils and staff.

This year there are two professional lunchtime concerts included in this brochure which sit alongside the pupils’ regular Friday lunchtime concert slot; some evening concert times vary too, so do check the start times 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 improvisation skills of John Lenehan as he injects vibrancy and spontaneity into the silent films projected just above our 9’ concert grand piano, to the hilarious all-singing-all-dancing musical comedy cabaret show of Graffiti Classics.

We are proud to continue our association with the world-renowned a cappella group, VOCES8, who’ve been inspiring pupils and audiences alike with their inventive programming and immaculate ensemble since our journey started with them twelve 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: Lux Aeterna

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.

VOCES8 returns to Worksop College with a diverse programme that celebrates choral music spanning 500 years. Highlights include Elgar’s Lux Aeterna (made famous by their viral video), Britten’s Choral Dance for Gloriana, music by William Byrd, Igor Stravinksy, J.S. Bach and a selection of the ensemble’s folk, spiritual, jazz and pop repertoire.
