Overview
Singing Development Day with Jack Apperley
Sevenoaks Philharmonic Choir is delighted to welcome back Jack Apperley to lead another Singing Day as part of preparing for our performance of Vaughan Williams’ A Sea Symphony. We warmly invite all singers to join us for what promises to be another hugely entertaining and informative day.
Vaughan Williams’ A Sea Symphony will be the vehicle for this event but improving voice production and ensemble singing will be the aim of the day as much as improving understanding of the work.
Jack Apperley
Jack is an energetic and fun-loving freelance conductor and we promise you a lively and enjoyable day.
As the Associate Chorus Director of the London Symphony Chorus and Musical Director of Goldsmiths Choral Union, Concordia Voices, and Epsom Chamber Choir, Jack has established a reputation for thorough rehearsals filled with energy, humour and precision, as well as compelling concerts, championing new works alongside classical mainstays.
He is increasingly in demand as a choral director both in the UK and abroad. Recently, Jack has worked with the London Symphony Chorus, the City of Birmingham Symphony Chorus, BBC Symphony Chorus, Brighton Festival Chorus, University of Birmingham Voices and Royal College of Music Chorus.
He has been engaged by some of the best choirs in Europe including Le Choeur de Radio France, Gothenburg Symphony Chorus and Vocal Ensemble, and the Hungarian National Choir.
