Remington Quartet performs at Ferris Hills

At Ferris Hills, we enjoy a variety of musical guests.  Recently, a trombone quartet from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester came to the community to perform.  The Remington Quartet is named for Emory Remington, who was a professor of trombone for nearly 50 years at the Eastman School.  The quartet played "The Ecstasy of Gold", "Quartet for Trombones", "Girl with the Flaxen Hair" and "Wilhelm Tell".
