The group, which has been together for the past five years, has featured various physicians and has become a special holiday tradition. “The theme of our performance is hope, and what better time to share that message than Christmas?” says Dr. Scott Ernst. “This performance gives us the opportunity to share a part of who we are that our patients and staff would not normally have a chance to see. We appreciate having the chance to share the spirit of the season with our patients and staff.”

** Media are asked to RSVP to Kathy Leblanc if you are planning to attend this performance. Interviews with Dr. Scott Ernst will be available following the concert. **
