From the Studio: Modern Theater Presents "A Night of Edgar Allan Poe"

  The annual Edgar Allan Poe event has come to pass once again.  Modern Theater Spokane is teaming up with Friends of The Bing for a one-night show dedicated to all things Poe.  Musical Director Zach Baker and Abbey Crawford joined Verne in the studio to discuss the show.  Zach also played a couple original compositions, accompanying himself on banjo and piano.

"A Night of Edgar Allan Poe" happens this Saturday, October 24th at 7:30pm in The Bing.  

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.
