Another performance to add to your to-do list this weekend was introduced by Philip Baldwin, conductor of the Spokane Youth Symphony. Philip talked about the concerts as well as the different groups featured on the concert and their respective conductors. The youth symphonies will be in concert this Sunday at the Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox. The concert will feature four different groups--the Spokane Youth Strings, Spokane Youth Sinfonietta, Spokane Youth Philharmonic, and Spokane Youth Symphony. This fall concert is entitled "Treasures" and will take place on Sunday, November 8th at 4:00pm.
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.
