George Winston

American pianist and composer George Winston pays a visit to the studio to play selections from his expansive repertoire and recording history, and for a conversation with A Little Afternoon Music Host Jim Tevenan.

George Winston's tour took him to the Schuler Performing Arts Center at North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho on Friday and the Cutter Theatre in Metaline Falls, Washington on Sunday.

After more than 25 years of teaching music, theater and English in San Francisco schools, Jim relocated to Spokane in 1995 to become organist/music director for St. Augustine Parish on the South Hill. Since around 2004, with the help and patience of Verne Windham, he has been able to realize his long-standing dream of doing radio. Jim specializes in classical music, but also can do the occasional jazz show. Jim and his wife, Carol, fill their free time caring for llamas, rabbits and chickens after having watched their two children grow up and leave the nest.
