Farm to Fork Festival Street Fair
The final and biggest event of Sacramento’s Farm-to-Fork Festival is happening this weekend with the annual street fair on Capitol Mall. It features an impressive line-up of chefs, food demonstrations and concerts as well as some new features. Mike Testa, President and CEO of Visit Sacramento joins us to fill us in on all of the details along with Co-owners of the Sugar Sweetery, Justine and Candice Cabanilla, who will share their Farm-to-Fork journey from their perspective as minority, women and LGBTQ business owners.
“The Beatles Guitar Project Rock Orchestra”
It could go down as one of the coolest musical collaborations in Sacramento. It’s called “The Beatles Guitar Project Rock Orchestra” ... a mix of rock orchestra, set to some of the Beatles’ most iconic hits and it’s all happening this Saturday at the Crest Theater. Aside from the music, the performance benefits music education right here in Sacramento. CapRadio’s midday classical host, Jennifer Reason, is one of the performers in Saturday’s extravaganza and she will be joined on Insight by Benjamin McClara, music director of the “The Beatles Guitar Project Rock Orchestra.”
Sacramento Musicians at Monterey Jazz Festival
The 66th Monterey Jazz Festival is this weekend. Each year the festival also features several student bands, like the Next Generation Women in Jazz Combo, which was created in 2019 to feature top high school women jazz players from across the country. Only six students get in, and this year two of them happen to be from Sacramento. CapRadio's Excellence in Jazz host Avery Jeffry recently sat down with the two students, Paloma Cobbs-Silva and Salome Ospina, to discuss their journey to Monterey. In Sacramento, you can hear Paloma Cobbs-Silva on October 20th at Twin Lotus Thai and Salome Ospina in the upcoming season of the Camellia Symphony. Both students were involved in the “Teagarden Jazz Camp” with the Sacramento Jazz Education Foundation.
