The Observatory^[11]

The Observatory was a site-responsive piece presented as part of the Norfolk & Norwich Festival and created as part of a partnership with the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts (SCVA) and the University of East Anglia (UEA). The piece was an exploration of humankind's relationship with space - and our gradual attempts to understand and explore it with the poetic, the scientific and the musical. Weightlessness, distance, fear of the unknown, infinity and astronomical geometry inspired this piece which was staged in and around the SCVA. The SCVA provided a futuristic background for this piece which informed the design of the show – and also the opportunity for the audience to experience this iconic building quite differently.

Commissioned by Norfolk & Norwich Festival. Music composed by Orlando Gough, Karen Wimhurst, Siân Croose and Jonathan Baker. Performed at The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts on 9th/10th May 2015. Music performed by Joby Burgess (percussion), BJ Cole (pedal steel), Adrian Lever (keyboards), Steve Saunders & Lewis Edney (bass trombones).

And is This a Dream?

This is the first project to be developed with both the Norwich and Brighton choirs concurrently, in Autumn 2019.^[25] It was performed on 16 November 2019 at All Saints Church in Hove and 30 November 2019 at St. Mary's Works in Norwich. The two venues were quite different in nature - All Saints being a late Victorian gothic revival building that had been the parish church of Hove since 1892 and St. Mary's Works being a former shoe factory which has been empty since 1972 but is the subject of ambitious development plans.

There were sixteen songs, each one of which depicted a dreamscape. The audience were taken on a journey through buildings that have been inhabited by others for over a century, evoking the half-lit, liminal world of dreaming. The title ‘…And is This a Dream?’ is inspired by The Birds of East London by the poet Stephen Watts, a long-term Voice Project collaborator.

Music composed by Helen Chadwick, Orlando Gough and Jonathan Baker. Music performed by Adrian Lever (Piano, Hammered Dulcimer) and Steve Morgan (Vibraphone - only in Hove). The Voice Project Quintet were Lisa Cassidy & Sianed Jones (Soprano), Siân Croose (Alto), Jeremy Avis (Tenor) and Jonathan Baker (Bass). Lighting design was done by Nathan Clarke.

Arc of the Sky (Film)^[26][27]

Plans to develop a new show for Spring/Summer 2020, inspired by the idea of a bird's-eye view of Holy Trinity Church in Blythburgh, had to be adapted as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The original intention had been to perform in the Church (known as the Cathedral of the Marshes) in July 2020. Since singing together in person was impossible, the project was re-designed as a film^[28] that was premiered on 2 October at St. Mary's Works in Norwich. The film explores themes of flight, perspective, scale, solitude and connection; and was made by filmmaker Nathan Clarke, with Art Direction from Sal Pittman, including footage contributed by choir members over the course of the project. A prologue^[29] to the film was also produced, consisting of images contributed by the choir and instrumental versions of some of the songs.

Music composed by Jon Baker, Orlando Gough and Sian Croose. Based on texts written by British and American poets including Esther Morgan, Emily Dickson, Steven Watts, Wendell Berry, Jane Draycott and George Szirtes. The Voice Project Quintet were Lisa Cassidy & Sianed Jones (Soprano), Siân Croose (Alto), Jeremy Avis (Tenor) and Jonathan Baker (Bass). Music performed by Adrian Lever (Piano, Hammered Dulcimer) and Caroline Bishop (Violin).

The Distance Between Us (Film)^[30][31][32]

With Covid-19 restrictions still in place in Autumn / Winter 2020, a fully-online project called 'The Distance Between Us' was conceived. This was the second instalment of the trilogy that started with Arc of the Sky. As with Arc of the Sky, a film was made by Nathan Clarke, with art direction from Sal Pittman. Esther Morgan ran creative writing sessions and dancer and choreographer Dane Hurst ran movement sessions. The film was premiered at Norwich Arts Centre on 27 October 2021, before being made available on YouTube.

Music composed by Jonathan Baker, Sian Croose and Orlando Gough.

The film won the 'Best Experimental Music Short' aware at the 2022 Richmond International Film Festival ^[33] and was selected as a January 2022 finalist in the Extra Long Short category of the New York Flash Film Festival.

The Recording Choir (CD)

In Autumn 2021, it was still not appropriate for choirs to rehearse in person. Instead, the choir continued to meet online, and a CD was created of some of the highlights of recent years.

Arc of the Sky (Live)^[34][35]

With the relaxation of Covid-19 restrictions in Spring 2022, it was possible to plan to perform Arc of the Sky, as per the original intent. It was performed on 11 June 2022 at St. Andrew's Church, Alfriston (Sussex) and 2 July 2022 at Holy Trinity Church, Blythburgh (Suffolk).

Music composed by Jonathan Baker, Orlando Gough and Sian Croose. Based on texts written by British and American poets including Esther Morgan, Emily Dickson, Steven Watts, Wendell Berry, Jane Draycott and George Szirtes. The Voice Project Quintet were Lisa Cassidy & Sharon Dunant (Soprano), Siân Croose (Alto), Jeremy Avis (Tenor) and Jonathan Baker (Bass). Music performed by Adrian Lever (Piano, Hammered Dulcimer) and Rowland Sutherland (Flute, Piccolo).
