Tonight there is an evening of chamber music with the young Soileau-Wildman-Cook Trio in a house concert at 1225 E. Rockwood Blvd in Spokane. Verne had a chance to talk with these musicians, who play an eclectic mix of classical, klezmer, and beyond. Gabe Soileau, piano and accordian; Matthew Wildman, bassoon; and Grant Cook, clarinet all played some tunes for us in the studio and gave us a bit of their life and musical history.

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.
