Direct from the hills of Kentucky, the dynamic Mountain Music Ambassadors is the flagship group of student performers from The Kentucky Center for Traditional Music at Morehead State University. Ready to entertain with bluegrass, old time, and country music, these student musicians form a section of band class. Musicians from the center have represented their region and mountain culture in hundreds of concerts at theaters, schools, festivals, and other prestigious venues, regionally, nationally, and in such diverse lands as Ireland, Jamaica, and The People’s Republic of China. They have appeared nationally on television and programs such as “Song of the Mountains” and “WoodSongs Old Time Radio Hour.” All MSU Traditional Music Ensembles are comprised of students enrolled in band class, so members vary from semester to semester. Students in the Mountain Music Ambassadors are majoring or minoring in Traditional Music at Morehead State University’s Kentucky Center for Traditional Music. Morehead State offered the first Bachelor of Arts degree in Traditional Music meeting the accreditation standards of the National Association of Schools of Music.
