The talented trio will each perform individually alongside Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and its Southampton-based community choir, BSO Voices. 

The live performances, which are conducted by Pete Harrison, accompany a full-length screening of The Snowman.

"Logan, Megan and Will stood out as brilliantly talented - we’re excited to be able to offer them this memorable performance experience and look forward to welcoming them to the stage in December."
