Our Conductors

Andrew Moore is a Northern Irish conductor, music therapist, composer, singer-songwriter and teacher based in London. 

Andrew enjoys a vibrant and varied career; he is the musical director of the Croydon Male Voice Choir, Interim Music Director of the Croydon Philharmonic Choir, and regularly works as a freelance conductor. He is the choral lead in Mulberry Academy, Shoreditch, works with the National Youth Choir (UK) as a section leader and in outreach through their Sing! Projects, and is the founder and managing director of Anchor Music Therapy. 

Andrew loves to write a variety of music and is not constrained by genre, releasing music independently as a singer-songwriter, but also writing music for choirs, classical soloists, media and orchestra. In addition to his work as a singer-songwriter, Andrew is a sought after classical/choral tenor and recently made his solo debut in the Royal Albert Hall as a tenor soloist for Prom Praise, hosted by the All Souls Orchestra. 

A committed Christian, Andrew serves as Assistant Director of Music in St Anselm's Church Kennington where he has the privilege to work with the teenage and primary aged choirs.

Tom Sangster is a conductor, saxophonist and music teacher from Eastbourne. He graduated from the University of Leeds in 2022 with an honours degree in music performance and has since enjoyed a career in music full of incredible opportunities. 

Tom is the assistant conductor at Horsham Symphony Orchestra, where he recently made his debut conducting Berlioz's Roman Carnival Overture, and frequently makes appearances as a guest conductor at ensembles across the south east. As a saxophonist, he performs regularly as a recitalist and has recorded some of the most demanding pieces in the repertoire, including David Maslanka's Concerto for Saxophone and Wind Orchestra. 

Tom had the fantastic experience of teaching as a music graduate at Ardingly College for 2 years, where he enjoyed passing on his knowledge and helping to shape the early stages of musical journeys for hundreds of young musicians. He is also invested in ensuring all young people have the opportunity to experience a music education, and his charity "Music Tells Tales" provides financial support by funding places at music hubs for children. 

Tom's favourite piece in the wind repertory is Eric Whitacre's Godzilla Eats Las Vegas, which he had the privilege of conducting in full costume at university.
