From the Studio: Spokane Symphony Chorale presents "Soul of America"

The Spokane Symphony Chorale will present a concert benefitting the Spokane Symphony, this Sunday, at 4 pm, at Westminster Congregational Church in downtown Spokane. 

Dr. Kristina Ploeger, director of the chorale, along with Brent Wilcox, who both sings in the chorale, and is a member of the Spokane Symphony Associates spoke with Verne this morning in the studio, to present a preview of Sunday's program. For more information, please check the Community Calendar Listing.

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.
