Sunday morning's 9.30am congregation were treated to the excitement and energy of a jazz band and 35- voice choir leading the worship.
Bob Chilcott's Little Jazz Mass was the setting at a special service to launch the 8 day Music Festival.
A double bassist , drummer, and keyboard player accompanied the pieces.
Churchwarden Anne King said: "The Little Jazz Mass was brilliant - uplifting, well sung and a really good example of how we can vary our worship styles".
The Rector, Canon David Hodgson said: "The specially-assembled choir was truly inter-generational and community-based. It included children and young people, our trebles, some of whom are still in training, as well as the choral scholars of All Saints Church Choir, other members of the Church Choir; together with additional singers from the church and wider community who had responded to a general invitation to get involved."
Director of Music Richard Smith welcomes all enquiries about getting involved in future similar events; including from children and young people interested in becoming choristers or choral scholars at the church. Visit http://allsaintsmusic.org.uk/
