LEXINGTON, Ky. (Dec. 17, 2014) — It’s safe to say that after a couple of decades of marriage Miles Osland and his wife, Lisa can read each other’s minds.
It’s a skill they say really comes in handy while playing music together. The acclaimed saxophonists perform together throughout the Lexington community as members of the Dimartino/Osland Jazz Orchestra and the Osland Saxophone Quartet.
But they also spend a great deal of time teaching future musicians in the University of Kentucky College of Fine Arts. Miles Osland serves as director of Jazz Studies while Lisa Osland is an adjunct saxophone professor within the UK School of Music.
Watch the video above to discover why UK and Lexington are so special to them both personally and professionally.
This video feature is part of a special new series produced by UKNow focusing on families who help make up the University of Kentucky community. There are many couples, brothers and sisters, mothers and sons and fathers and daughters who serve at UK in various fields. The idea is to show how UK is part of so many families’ lives and how so many families are focused on helping the university succeed each and everyday.
Since the "Big Blue Family" series is now a monthly feature on UKNow, we invite you to submit future ideas. If you know of a family who you think should be featured, please email us. Who knows? We might just choose your suggestion for our next feature!
