Once again the Takapuna Music Group presents an evening of jazz-based music-making in a service of worship – a blend of music, prayers and thoughtful ideas, making jazz an integral part of the occasion.
This form of worship dates from the 1960s, when it originated in New York, and has proved increasingly popular over the years.
This year the Group is featuring the Camerata Chamber Choir conducted by Jenny Firth, who will present extracts from “A Little Jazz Mass” by the well-known British Choral composer Bob Chilcott, combined with a number of modern hymns and songs, all with a jazz –based accompaniment. The audience will be encouraged to swing along with the singers.
On piano we feature the wonderful young jazz pianist Crystal Choi, already making a name for herself in the jazz music world. Crystal will entertain with some of her expert improvisations as well as leading the accompaniment for the Jazz Mass and songs. The presbyter, Rev Peter Norman will lead the service and provide commentaries.

Come along to the next Repair Café in Bayswater at the school hall from 11am to 2pm on Saturday the 25th of March. Hopefully we’ll all have dried out a little by then. It’s great to have Glenys, Dale, et al involved again. It’s a free pop up event where you can bring broken and damaged items. Bicycles – Clothes – Small pieces of Furniture – Small Appliances – Toys. Local volunteer experts will sit down with you, share their knowledge and do their best to repair things. Last time 29 of the 50 items that were brought along were fixed! It’s all about bringing people together, connecting local people in their communities with others who are happy to share their skills and knowledge, saving people money and reducing the amount of material that ends up in our landfills. Lots of opportunity to be part of this, email me at stephen@ancad.org.nz to get involved…
