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.

Carismatico Tango

Carismático is a new ensemble created by accordionist Karen Street. In 2016 Argentinian Composer and pianist, Saúl Cosentino made contact and generously sent her some of his music to play. She was so excited by the compositions that she decided to create her ideal Tango band to perform his music, explore the beguiling world of Tango and write for the band herself.

The musical focus for Carismático is Tango Nuevo, a style created by Astor Piazzolla with the aim of moving Tango onto the concert platform. Saúl Cosentino himself was hugely influenced by Piazzolla, eventually studying with him and becoming friends.

The core of the repertoire Carismático presents are Cosentino’s brilliant, emotionally charged compositions alongside some classic Piazzolla arrangements and Street’s own wonderful new compositions for the group.
