Symphony Week 2021, Wednesday--Glacier Symphony

Glacier Symphony Music Director, John Zoltek

As part of Symphony Week at Spokane Public Radio, we travel virtually to Montana to check out the new seasons of orchestras featured on our Concert of the Week broadcasts. John Zoltek, Music Director of the Glacier Symphony Orchestra and Chorale tells about GSC's upcoming season, and about a new piece for cello and orchestra by Maestro Zoltek that debuts this fall. More information about the orchestra, chorale and their season is at glaciersymphony.org.

After more than 25 years of teaching music, theater and English in San Francisco schools, Jim relocated to Spokane in 1995 to become organist/music director for St. Augustine Parish on the South Hill. Since around 2004, with the help and patience of Verne Windham, he has been able to realize his long-standing dream of doing radio. Jim specializes in classical music, but also can do the occasional jazz show. Jim and his wife, Carol, fill their free time caring for llamas, rabbits and chickens after having watched their two children grow up and leave the nest.
