Interview with Timothy Westerhaus, Part 2.

On Sunday, November 12, the Johann Sebastian Bach B minor Mass will be performed by the St John's Cathedral Kantorei Choir & Collegium Orchestra, under the direction of Timothy Westerhaus, at the Cathedral of St. John The Evangelist, in Spokane. This morning we enjoyed a preview of the performance. Tickets for the performance can be purchased through Brown Paper Tickets, or at the door, on Sunday.

Verne Windham got his start at Spokane Public Radio 20 years ago. “I came in to complain and they hired me.” He’s now the Program Director, as well as the host of Morning Classical and Concert of the Week. When choosing music for Morning Classical, Verne likes to keep the agenda as broadly defined as possible. For Concert of the Week, he focuses on the best of recent local performances, mostly classical in nature. For many years, Verne was also the conductor of the Spokane Youth Orchestra. He enjoys gardening, his vintage car and playing French horn.
