UNO Professor Ryan Gray Excavates in St. Louis Cathedral: ‘It really is a one-of-a-kind project’

While a brass band played to the delight of tourists who clapped and swayed to the spirited beats that filled the air in Jackson Square one breezy January afternoon, a short distance away, University of New Orleans students stood sifting—literally—through the soils of time at St. Louis Cathedral.

Underscoring the vibrant talent within the University of New Orleans' music program, bassist and composer Ted Long has been named the recipient of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) Foundation Louis Armstrong Scholarship.
