Exeter Chamber Choir and AJ's Big Band in a concert of special jazz music in the city's cathedral.

Swinging His Praises is a "Mass for Life". This jazz mass is written by the choir's musical director Andrew Daldorph and features jazz psalms and other songs.

Exeter Chamber Choir was formed in 1997 from a nucleus of leading Devon-based singers. Previous musical directors include the composer-conductors Antony le Fleming and Graham Treacher. The current director is Andrew Daldorph and its patron is Emma Kirby DBE. The Choir’s repertoire includes works with orchestra, new commissions and masterpieces from the Renaissance to the present day.

AJ's Big Band is the South West's finest 17-piece big band, specialising in the unforgettable music of the swing era. Under the inimitable leadership of Ken Parr, the band plays regularly throughout Devon and the South West for dances, concerts, festivals and other events.
