The Choirs aim is to promote the Art Form - MUSIC IS LIFE - involving local people in the Choir and Orchestra bringing a wide range of Music to the Arun area, by local people for local people.

The Choir and Orchestra was founded in August 1998 by Mr James Edwin Rushman.  In May 2004 a committee was formed and the name was changed to 'The Edwin James Festival Choir'.

We put on a variety of Concerts each year for all tastes, from Classical to modern day so there is bound to be something in our programme that takes your eye!

On certain occassions throughout the year, our fantastic Orchestra join us and we put on Concerts which will leave you wanting more!

The majority of our Concerts are performed at The Church of St James the Great, Littlehampton, stjameslittlehampton.co.uk please check out our Concert listings for further information.
