Tom Appleton - Music Director of the King's Lynn Festival Chorus (KLFC) since 2010, Director of Music Outreach at Gresham's, Choir Manager of the Monteverdi Choir, and Bass voice in the same group under Sir
John Eliot Gardiner.  His work for Gresham's sees him return to his old school and includes workshops and performances with the local community and talented young musicians. Part of his role at Gresham's is as Artistic Director of the International Britten Music Course where 8-12 year old children from all over the world come together for a residential music course. Tom gained a place as an Apprentice with the Monteverdi Choir and rose
through the ranks, via a solo in the 2010 BBC Proms, and is now the Choir Manager, as well as continuing to sing for the group which has performed in many prestigious venues.
