Last month, CapRadio Classical Host Jennifer Reason was joined by Sunday Baroque Host Suzanne Bona for a live in-studio performance of Baroque era works and pieces by living composers. The hour-long performance and conversation was hosted by Kevin Doherty as part of Morning Classical.

Flutist Bona and pianist Reason are both classically trained musicians. They performed works by composers such as George Frideric Handel, John Rutter, Princess Anna Amalia of Prussia and Dianne Goolkasian Rahbee.

The performance was a treat for both our listeners and the in-studio audience who witnessed them playing. We have a full recap of the event, including the entire audio recording of the show, as well as a video of the duo playing an unpublished piece by Dianne Goolkasian Rahbee.

Suzanne Bona and Jennifer Reason teaming up to perform was covered by the Sacramento Bee.
