What's the point of a symphony, anyway? What is an orchestra's job? Jeff vom Saal races around his office all day asking these questions. An energetic trumpet player from upstate New York, he's been the executive director for the Spokane Symphony for seven years, with plenty of previous experience in Massachusetts, North Dakota, Iowa and California. But for all his years around orchestras, his questions don't seem to be getting any easier.

The Spokane Symphony starts its 2023-24 season with world-famous soloist Yo-Yo Ma

Cellist Yo-Yo Ma wowed at the Symphony's sold-out season opener on Sept. 6.

Call him a heretic. A heathen. A dishonor to the Inland Northwest. But Damon Netz doesn't like IPAs. The Seattle native just had too many hoppy beers and got sick of them, OK? So when Netz opened No Drought Brewing Company in Spokane Valley in 2021, he decided to focus on serving his favorite beers — lager, doppelbock, Kölsch and all kinds of other German brews, made from malts straight out of Heidelberg. Judging by his full taproom, he isn't the only one getting sick of pale ales.
