From the Studio: Spokane Symphony's Holiday Pops

Spokane Public Radio

James Lowe, Music Director of the Spokane Symphony, visits the studio to discuss the tradition of the Holiday Pops and this season's program, featuring guest vocalist Vanessa Williams.

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.
