It’s been more than a year since choirs were silenced by the pandemic, yet the 2021/22 season brings new hope and fresh opportunities, including an exciting partnership for The Handful with their new Musical Director Vicente Chavarría.

With 2021 drawing to a close, join The Handful in a contemplative yet joyful evening as the choir weaves its way through a rich tapestry of music reflecting on what has passed and giving thanks for what we have, finishing with a few jolly drinking songs to see us off into the festive season!

As part of the choir’s commitment to exploring and supporting new music the programme includes UK premières from two hugely talented young composers Sydney Guillaume and J. Michael Saunders.
