I'd like to obtain a copy (either on VHS or DVD) of a performance.
The group is called "The King's Singers" and did a PBS show called
"On Stage at Wolf Trap".  The time frame is circa 1988.  Please let
me know where/how I can obtain/purchase a copy of this performance.

Clarification of Question by oogbla-ga on 14 May 2003 18:03 PDT

At the time, I saw this on the PBS station in Chicago (I forget their
callsign).  I don't think it was produced by them.   I know that WGBH
out of Boston produces a lot of PBS shows, but I don't know if they
did this particular one or not.

On another note, I've seen some other performers' shows from the
"On Stage at Wolf Trap" series that are available, just not the group
I am looking for.  Perhaps that might be a trail to follow.

For other researchers who may pursue this question: Unforutnately,
asearch at PBS.org's "shop" (where many DVDs, etc. are sold) turns up
nothing for either "King's Singers" or "Wolf Trap."

Hi oogbla-ga,

I have E-mailed PBS requesting a source where this program can be
purchased.  I will provide you with more information as soon as I have
heard from PBS.

My online search turned up nothing...

Hi oogbla,

I have received an E-mail back from PBS stating they are very backed
up, and that the wait is usually around 3 weeks time.

In response, I called the toll free number provided in the E-mail I
received back, and after having a search done by a human being on the
other end, nothing was found in their inventory that would even
remotely sound like what you are looking for.

I asked for a recommendation as to where I could try to find a copy of
this show, and was told to try contacting the local PBS department.
Since each department does their own programming, can you please tell
us where you are located, so we can contact your local PBS station?

Thanks in advance.

I know that TV stations rarely.... RARELY... keep video around for
more than 15 or so years, due to changes in video formats, etc.

And if it was a performance - especially if it was live rather than
taped - the chance that the tape still exists will be miniscule.

You may wish to contact WGBH-TV directly. They may be your best bet.
