Two of Arden's musical fixtures, the Ardenaires and the Arden Glee Club, have teamed up for an evening of entertainment on Friday, August 11 to celebrate Canada 150.
The free concert at the Kennebec Community Hall, which will feature a very special, surprise guest, to be announced only on the night, will showcase some original material by the Ardenaires with a distinctly Canadian theme.
Arden Glee Club, a large choir under director, Helen Praskey, has become well known in southern Ontario for its complex harmonies and beautiful a Capella renderings of well known songs.
Near show's end, the names of Arden residents, who died in the service of their country in both world wars, will be recited as part of a moving musical tribute but the mood will be far from somber for the rest of the night since the audience can expect more of the trade mark high jinks and laughter that often accompany concerts at the hall. Refreshments will be served at the intermission, courtesy of the Kennebec Recreation and Canada 150 Committees.
