Performances in June and July
Whether you made it to our concert or not, there are a couple of other opportunities to hear our Core Choir sing in June and July this year: Thursday June 6th, 7pm - we will be performing at the opening of the Ashton Park soiree. The evening will consist of students from the school showcasing their work in the areas of music, dance and drama, and Handfuls of Harmony will be there from the start to join the fun. Come and hear us, then stay around to see some of the fantastic w

Springing into action!
Well, after our customary winter break, our choirs are now springing into action. We've got a really exciting term planned for all of our choirs, and we're already looking forward to our concerts on Sunday 29th April. Our schools choirs have made a great start to the new term, and we've been holding assemblies to publicise what we do. The choirs are well on the way to learning some of our new songs and arrangements, and our teachers have been busy going into each of the schoo

New Musical Director for Handfuls of Harmony
Handfuls of Harmony is now entering its fifth year as a community choir, having started in the summer of 2013, with support from the Co-operative Community fund. Subsequent funding from the Barry and Peggy High Foundation and the Big Lottery People’s Millions enabled us to support a number of new ideas for choirs in BS3, which resulted in the involvement of all the schools in BS3 (and surrounding post code areas), the development of a choir for the residents of Monica Wills H

New Term Dates for Core Choir
We know what you're thinking. It's just been too long since we sang together. Well, never fear, the new term dates have now been confirmed and it's not long until we start again. As if that wasn't enough good news, we have also decided to slightly extend our singing this term, which means that we will have two main blocks of rehearsals either side of the Easter holidays. There will be 12 sessions in total, leading up to our concerts on Saturday 17th June. Do take a look at ou

Dawn musings...
The first meeting of Handfuls of Harmony was very much in our thoughts on our slow train to Vietnam as we watched the sun set over the paddy fields of Sichuan province, knowing it would be three weeks before we were back with the choir. Would it go well? Would old friends be there? Would Ali be inspirational? Would there be new faces? Would the biscuits exceed expectations? Would the evening of song meander mellifluously, like the sun-kissed streams through the paddy fields?

Core choir update
Handfuls of Harmony Core Choir is off to a cracking start this term. More than 50 singers came to our free taster and filled the hall with glorious harmony. So far we've been learning the Bill Withers classic 'Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone' and a fabulously uplifting Spanish song called 'Ya Basta', as well as short songs from South Africa, the Middle East, and The Beatles back catalogue! It's wonderful to be singing with everyone again. There's no session on 13th October,

Why do I sing?
There was the new-term excitement, of course. The first week back for our core choir, and the chance to catch up and meet people again: to slip into the conversations about Bristol City's season, life as a teacher and the wondering about what we'd be singing this term. And, of course, the chance to sing again. Over the past 3 years, Handfuls of Harmony has become a really important part of my life. I've found friends, a great community of people who enjoy singing our hearts o
