Faculty and students from Morehead State University’s Department of Communication, Media and Languages and Department of Music, Theatre and Dance are coming together for a creative endeavor coming to the small screen to brighten up the holiday season.
Under the leadership of Jeffrey Hill, professor of mass communication, and Ryan McGillicuddy, assistant professor of music, the hour-long video work “The Ryan McGillicuddy Big Band” will premiere at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 27, on Kentucky Educational Television (KET). The project is also scheduled for nine additional airdates between Dec. 29 and Jan. 4, 2021.
With the support of an MSU Creative Productions grant, McGillicuddy composed and arranged five compositions while arranging one traditional work and one piece by jazz artist Jim Golding. From there, he formed an 18-piece Big Band consisting of Kentucky jazz musicians, as well MSU faculty and students.
