The Colgate University Chamber Singers embraced an opportunity to move from concert stage to recording studio for a performance of holiday pieces that will be televised in areas of New York and northern Pennsylvania.

Director James Niblock and the 12 student performers were asked to appear on Expressions: Holiday Harmonies, a program produced by WSKG, a Public Broadcasting Service affiliate in Vestal, N.Y.

The Chamber Singers and the Ithaca Children's Choir each appear for 30 minutes of the hourlong program that will air 8 p.m. today (Dec. 4) and 2 p.m. Dec. 25.

A year and a half ago, Colgate University music professor Laura Klugherz received a letter from a film company interested in using a piece of her music for an upcoming documentary about World War II.

Klugherz didn't think much about the request. In fact, she tucked the letter away in her files.
