Verne interviews for Symphony Week, Part 2

Day two of Symphony Week at Spokane Public Radio included conversations with Symphony Director, Jeff vom Saal, Fox 10th Anniversary Celebration chair, Bill Simer, and Joan Degerstrom, who attended the opening of the Fox Theater on September 3, 1931, at the age of eight.

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.
