From the Studio: Violinist Mateusz Wolski

Spokane Symphony concertmaster Mateusz Wolski stopped by the studio this morning to talk with Verne about the Symphony's concerts this weekend.  Wolski will be playing Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 2 as part of a program that also includes works by Joplin, Ellington and Gershwin.  More information and tickets available from the Spokane Symphony

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.
