"Mr. Remington was famed throughout the world as the man who made trombones "sing." His students could be recognized by the production of a trombone tone that was smooth and rich and molded on the human voice..."
-- The New York Times

"...a master trombone teacher who over the last 50 years has trained 25 to 50 percent of the trombonists in America's symphony orchestras."
--The New York Times

EMORY B. REMINGTON (1891–1971), was professor of trombone at the University of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music from 1922 until his death in 1971. He “is recognized as one of the most outstanding brass instrument pedagogues in the world. In almost 50 years at Eastman, he taught hundreds of students who went on to hold positions in virtually all of the country’s major symphony orchestras, as well as in college music departments and schools.”


DONALD HUNSBERGER, a former student of Emory Remington, is conductor emeritus of the Eastman Wind Ensemble, having served as its music director from 1965 to 2002. Under his leadership, the Eastman Wind Ensemble continued its development as an international performance model in the creation of numerous new works for the wind band, providing prime examples of contemporary performance techniques as demonstrated on numerous recordings and tours. Under Hunsberger’s direction the EWE performed on six tours of Japan and Taiwan between 1990 and 2000, and one throughout Japan and Southeast Asia in 1978 sponsored by the U.S. State Department and the Kambara Agency. He has been the recipient of a number of awards for research, pedagogy, and performance.
