Beloved ‘Collage: A Holiday Spectacular’ to air Dec. 25 on FOX 56
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Dec. 16, 2024) — The University of Kentucky Choirs’ 27th annual “Collage: A Holiday Spectacular,” a cherished Central Kentucky holiday tradition, will reach an even broader audience this year thanks to a special broadcast on FOX 56. The 90-minute program, which will feature selections from the 2024 presentation of “Collage,” will air twice on Dec. 25, 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 p.m.
Following its highly anticipated and sold-out live performances in early December at Singletary Center for the Arts, the television broadcast marks a new chapter in the event’s storied history. “Collage” has grown to become the centerpiece of the holiday season for many, with vibrant performances by UK Choirs, UK School of Music ensembles, Lexington Singers Children’s Choir and other community groups.
This year’s production features hundreds of performers, including the UK Chorale, UK Treble Choir, UK Men’s Chorus, a cappella groups and special guest artists from the Lexington arts community. FOX 56’s partnership ensures the joyous spirit of “Collage” can reach even more households, offering an opportunity for families across the region to join in this dynamic celebration of music and holiday cheer.
“‘Collage’ is a labor of love for our community, and it’s thrilling to see it connect with a larger audience through FOX 56,” said Jefferson Johnson, D.M.A., director of UK Choral Activities.
“Christmas is a time for families, friends and traditions,” said FOX 56 Vice President and General Manager Monte Costes. “There’s no better way to celebrate the day than with the gift of music. We’re thankful to share this local tradition with our viewers.”
