Today was a busy day in the studio with Verne! We had a bunch of interviews in preparation for a busy weekend in the Spokane performing arts world. First up was Max Mendez, who is the artistic director of Spokane Choral Artists. Their fall concert is entitled "A Choral Tapestry," and they will perform this concert three different times, once each day this weekend. Today's concert (November 6th) is at 7:30pm at Salem Lutheran Church in Spokane. Tomorrow evening's concert (November 7th) is at 7:30pm at First Presbyterian Church in Coeur d'Alene, and the concert on Sunday, November 8th is at 3:00pm at St. Rita's Church in Kellogg, Idaho.

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.
