The Handful’s 20 Year Legacy

The Handful is a vibrant and ambitious chamber choir based in Bath. Founded over 20 years ago, the choir started out as a small ‘handful’ of experienced singers. With former Musical Directors Christopher Finch and then Tomos Watkins, the choir grew both in size and in stature, 

enthralling audiences with its fine sound and imaginative programming. Since Vicente Chavarría became Musical Director in 2021, the choir and their audience have enjoyed his exploration of diverse repertoire and commitment to adventurous music-making.
