Description

Hunter and Shaun dive into the music of Kevin McKee and discuss his progression as a composer.

Kevin McKee is an American composer of (primarily) brass chamber music.  He was born and raised in Yreka, CA, a tiny mountain town in the heart of the “State of Jefferson” (Northern California).  He began playing the trumpet in grade school at the urging of his father, the high school music teacher in town.  He went on to earn two degrees in trumpet performance; a BM from Sacramento State, where he studied with Gary Dilworth, and a MM from the University of Maryland, under Chris Gekker.
