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.

The Dodo Street Band

An irresistible blend of exotic eastern European and Celtic folk roots, Dodo Street Band’s programme includes Niel Gow’s warm and beautiful ‘Lament’; one of the most beloved Celtic melodies (‘Will You Go Lassie Go’ or ‘Wild Mountain Thyme’) and a klezmer inspired melody are interspersed with wild gypsy dances and some extreme virtuosity along the way.

The Dodos boast a musical pedigree second to none, combining diabolical fiddle playing from international star Adam Summerhayes; outrageous brilliance from world number one recorder genius, Piers Adams;  horrifying high-ABV insanity from accordion master, Murray Grainger;  positively feverish  power from bass legend, Malcolm Creese; and dazzling bodhran playing from king of folk percussion, Cormac Byrne.

A selection of canapés will be available during the interval.
