Backstage Pass with the Eastman Trombone Choir - repeats 2/5/17

http://www.esm.rochester.edu/trombone/trombone-choir/#jp-carousel-245

What happens if you find 24 trombonists in one room? In Rochester, it means you sit down and enjoy a concert with the Eastman Trombone Choir.

The choir, now in its 75th year, has played around the country and around the world, but never on Backstage Pass. Conductors Mark Kellogg and Larry Zalkind rectify that when they bring the Trombone Choir to Studio A for a performance and chat with host Julia Figueras. Expect the unexpected on Tuesday, January 31 at 1 PM.  The show will repeat at 1 PM on Sunday, February 5.

A Strong Memorial baby and Greece Arcadia grad, Julia Figueras was the Music Director and mid-day host for WXXI Classical until June 30, 2023 when she retired after more than 26 years of service. She also hosted the award-winning monthly interview/performance show, Backstage Pass.
