"The highlight of the program will be a dramatic reading of The Polar Express with orchestra, choir, and narration," said Spokesperson Mary Alice Marchand. "It is a performance not to be missed.

The evening will feature music from the St. Andrew’s Chancel Choir, and the Chatham-Kent Orchestra. St. Andrew’s Director of Music Christine Baribeau will direct presentations by the Bel Canto Choir School.
