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.

David Briggs: The Phantom of the Opera

A unique cinema experience with a twist - we are showing one of the greatest silent films ever made, the classic 1925 film version of Phantom of the Opera, starring Lon Chaney, together with live, improvised organ accompaniment from international recitalist David Briggs. Formerly organ  scholar of King's College, Cambridge & Organist of Gloucester Cathedral, David Briggs holds a reputation as one of the most fluent and expert improvisers in the  world. This is cinema as it used to be with a musician to capture the mood as the silent movie’s images flash across the silver screen - an exhilarating evening’s entertainment. The evening will begin with a champagne reception in the atmospheric College Library, during which you will be able to meet and talk with the artist.

In association with the Royal College of Organists
