Dear Friends
Welcome to the Worksop Music Concert Series 2015/16.
I am particularly proud to present to you this year’s
series which features guest artists of an exceptionally
high calibre and international reputation.
As an educator of young people, it is important to me to
promote performers who can engage the uninitiated.
Very few people can manage this as well as Graffiti
Classics who had people falling off their chairs with
laughter last year, but you will find that others in this
series will enthral in different ways. Whatever you are
looking for, you will find here music of considerable
diversity and emotional depth, performed by people
who are extremely passionate about what they do.
Box Office 01909 537100
“...music of considerable
diversity and emotional
depth…”
As ever, the work of Worksop College’s own pupils is
an important part of the music here and everyone is
welcome to sample the product of their considerable
talent. You may even wish to purchase one of the
department’s CDs.
Useful reminders about concerts and photographs of
the events will be available via Twitter. To access
these, please be sure to follow us @WorksopMusic.
I look forward to welcoming you to the concerts.
With best wishes,
Timothy Uglow
Director of Music, Worksop College
2015/2016
The GOULD
PIANO TRIO
For over twenty years the Gould Piano Trio (Lucy Gould Violin; Alice Neary - Cello; Benjamin Frith - Piano) have
remained at the forefront of the chamber music scene,
having been launched into an international career by
winning the first Melbourne International Chamber Music
Competition. Familiar to listeners of BBC Radio 3, they
perform at major festivals and venues in the UK and
abroad. With a programme including Mozart’s Trio in Bb
major K.502, Brahms’ Trio in C major and Stanford’s Irish
Concertino, they bring to the College some of the genre’s
most exciting music.
“...a musical fire that ignites from the first bar.”

REQUIEM MASS
for ALL SOULS
Join us for a special candlelit performance in liturgical
context of Fauré’s sublime Requiem, sung in its original
1883 scoring for small orchestra and organ by North Notts
Chamber Choir and members of Worksop College Chapel
Choir. Composed “purely for the pleasure of it” and much
loved for its serenity and soothing gentleness, Fauré’s
Requiem includes some of his most beautiful melodies
and offers profound consolation in the face of human
mortality. The service will be led by the Rev’d Paul
Finlinson (Chaplain of Worksop College) and the music
directed by Timothy Uglow.

“A simply wonderful show.” The Times
GRAFFITI
CLASSICS
16 strings, 8 dancing feet and 4 voices with 1 aim: to make
classical music wickedly funny and fantastically exhilarating
for everyone, young and old. Graffiti Classics bursts the
elitist boundaries of the traditional string quartet with its
hilarious all-singing, all-dancing musical comedy show.
It's a classical concert, a gypsy-folk romp, an opera, a stand
-up comedy set and a brilliant dance show all rolled into
one! From Strauss to Saturday Night Fever, there really is
something for everyone and Graffiti Classics never fails to
get audiences laughing, clapping and singing along.

VOCES8:
The Nave to the Stage
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. After an
extraordinarily memorable concert last January we are
delighted to welcome them back to Worksop again.
Harnessing a combination of sound worlds and created
with repertoire taken from VOCES8’s chart topping albums
on Decca Classics, The Nave to the Stage aims to exploit
the spatial and acoustic capacities of the chapel. The result
is a stunning concert presentation unique to this
wonderful vocal ensemble.

“The best music show I’ve ever seen”
Terry Wogan
HARRY
the PIANO
Harry’s extraordinary and breathtaking creativity have
earned him a reputation as one of the most gifted
improvising pianists in the world. Celebrities and critics
alike have lined up to shower him with praise bordering on
astonishment. No other musician can spontaneously
reinvent Michael Jackson in the style of Mozart, recreate a
night at the Groucho club through the TV themes of its
members, and improvise a seamless medley of audience
requests ranging from James Bond to Shostakovich via
West Side Story. Jaw-dropping old-fashioned virtuosity
coupled with sharp humour is put at the disposal of the
audience as Harry invites them to challenge him with ‘any
song in any style’. With 3 million YouTube hits and clients
as diverse as Prince Charles, Stephen Fry and Kate Moss,
Harry’s show has truly global wow-factor.

ROSSINI:
PETITE MESSE SOLENNELLE
NORTH NOTTS CHAMBER CHOIR
WORKSOP COLLEGE CHAPEL CHOIR
MOUNTGARRET CONCERT ORCHESTRA
Conducted by TIMOTHY UGLOW
This concert is devoted to Rossini’s Petite Messe
Solennelle, one of the most beautifully tuneful quasioperatic masses in the repertoire and described by Rossini
as his last ‘sin of old age’. Written for Parisian audiences in
1864, more than thirty years after the composer of ‘The
Barber of Seville’ retired from opera, it is a charming Mass
that is neither small nor solemn but instead dances with
joy and vitality. You can look forward to a richly melodious
and highly entertaining evening of exceptional choral
music.

ORGAN RECITAL:
COLIN WALSH
Organist Laureate of Lincoln Cathedral, Colin Walsh is at the
forefront of his generation of organists in England. As a
recitalist he has played in all the major venues in the UK,
across Europe, the USA, Australasia, Hong Kong and Russia.
His studies in France with the blind organist and composer
Jean Langlais inspired him to specialise in 19 th and 20th
century French organ music, which has brought him wide
acclaim throughout the world. His recordings on CD and
DVD as a choral conductor, accompanist and soloist
number nearly 40 over many years and various labels. More
recently he has appeared as organ soloist in the BBC
Radio 3 ‘Live in Concert’ series. This recital “Parisian
Organists” showcases the College Chapel’s magnificent
three manual Keats organ. Rebuilt in 2001, it is undoubtedly
one of the finest instruments in the area.

RED PRIEST:
Handel in the Wind
Piers Adams’ four-piece baroque super-group Red Priest
has become an international phenomenon, turning the
period instrument movement on it head with its thrilling,
“no holds barred” approach to the genre. The group has
given over 1000 performances on four continents,
headlining in some of the most prestigious classical
festivals, and appearing extensively in TV and radio –
including a profile in 2005 for the UK’s flagship arts
programme, the South Bank Show, which attracted over a
million viewers. Red Priest will take us on whirlwind tour of
that titan of the baroque, Georg Frederick Handel, in a
programme including sonatas, chaconnes and virtuoso
variations, transcriptions both sublime and tempestuous,
and an audacious suite drawn from his most celebrated
work, The Messiah.
