ZANESVILLE -- In order to celebrate Black History month with dynamic programming, the Ohio University-Zanesville Third Thursday event series will be changed to the third Wednesday for February. Dr. Ted McDaniel, professor of African American Music at Ohio State will present Understanding Black History through Black Music.
McDaniel, a specialist in African American music, jazz history and jazz performance is in high demand and in order to secure him, the Cultural Committee, sponsors for the event, requested the date change.
Having lectured throughout the United States, in Africa, Europe and China, McDaniel is renowned for his analysis of the music, as a music arranger and composer. Under his leadership, the OSU Jazz Ensemble has toured internationally with three European tours.
McDaniel is affiliated with the National Black Music Caucus (now the National Association for the Study and Performance of African-American Music) and has membership in the Center for Black Music Research, National Association of Negro Musicians, National Association for Music Education, National Council for Black Studies, Association for the Study of AfroAmerican Life and History, and the International Association for Jazz Education.
The award-winning McDaniel will visit Ohio University-Zanesville on Wednesday, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. in the Elson Hall Auditorium. "Understanding Black History through Black Music" is sponsored by the OU Zanesville Cultural Committee and is part of the Third Thursday event series, which promotes cultural, diversity and educational programming.
