From the Studio: Symphony Week - Day 2

Spokane Public Radio | By Verne Windham
Published September 15, 2015 at 3:57 PM PDT

Tuesday means it's Day 2 of SPR's Symphony Week with members, friends, fans, staff, supporters, and all things related to the Spokane Symphony.  Today's featured guest was Tana Bland, who is one of the violinists with the Tedesca String Quartet, our featured artist group for the first SPR Kids Concert of the season.  She also plays with Tango Volcado.  Verne chatted with her this morning, and she was kind enough to play something for us as well.

The Spokane Symphony's Classics concert series begins this weekend - Saturday, September 19th at 8:00pm and Sunday, September 20th at 3:00pm - with "Russian Adventures," featuring Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain, Bartok's Piano Concerto No. 1 and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 2, "Little Russian."  Tickets available now online at TicketsWest or by contacting/visiting the Box Office at the Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox.

Verne Windham
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.
