The charity assembled a top cast, ensemble and creative team to produce the opera to tight timescales and budget. The final performance was designed to be semi-staged and presented in the style of a 40s radio recording. This was the first professional performance of this intriguing work, and it attracted a large audience of all ages. The two charitable donations in the charity’s restricted funds contributed to this production. In June 2022, The Assembly Project ensemble performed in a repeat performance of Toads on a Tapestry for Faversham Music Club. This took place on the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend, and the performance also coincided with a Magna Carta exhibition in Faversham. The Assembly Project musicians collaborated with a professional cast and local children. In summer 2022, The Assembly Project brought together an ensemble of musicians to perform in a mixed media promenade event in St Magnus Cathedral in Scotland. The event worked with the cathedral’s historic architecture, animating it with art, music and poetry. Using tales and poetry rooted in the local community and further afield, the performance created a mindful exploration of the architecture with spatial live music, recorded text, visual art installations and video. Part performance, part exhibition, part experience. The relaxed and immersive style of the event pulled a large audience of all ages, and audience feedback was overwhelmingly positive. This event builds on similar style performances produced by the charity in previous years.
