PSU musicians to appear in PBS special

A Pittsburg State University professor of music and graduate music student will be featured in a PBS special airing on Ozarks Public Television on Oct. 6 and 9.

PSU Professor Robert Kehle, who teaches brass in the Department of Music and directs the PSU Jazz Ensemble, and graduate student Jonathan DeSoto Jr., recorded “An Ozark Mountain Symphony: A Musical Celebration,” earlier this year with the Springfield Symphony Orchestra.

Kehle performed as principal trombonist and DeSoto played tuba.

The premier will air on Oct. 6 at 8 p.m., and will be rebroadcast on Oct. 9 at 1:30 p.m.

The broadcast will feature an all-star cast and will celebrate the joy and hope of music.
