Jennifer Reason
Midday Classical Announcer
Jennifer has been a classical host at CapRadio for a year now, but she’s been talking about music long before that! A musical alumni of Sac State, Jennifer is an avid performer in the community and host of many artistic events in the area. You may have seen her in her role as Artistic Director of vocal ensemble RSVP, Music Director and pianist for the Rogue Music Project (along with morning classical host Kevin Doherty!), or as pianist and founding member of Citywater, modern instrumental sextet currently Ensemble-in-Residence at CSUS (www.citywatermusic.com).
Performing is Jennifer’s first love, and she has performed internationally as pianist, vocalist and director, including nine festival and tour appearances in Europe, two in Carnegie Hall, and a blissful one in St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City. She has also shared the stage with such noteworthy artists/personalities as John Rutter, members of Journey, Tower of Power, Santana, and Sly and the Family Stone, Governor Jerry Brown and Billy Bob Thornton.
In 2016, the Sacramento Business Journal named Jennifer on its 40 Under 40 list of young professionals excelling in their careers.
Away from music, Jennifer can be found outdoors getting lost in the back country with her backpack, or anywhere fine and delicious foods can be found.
