Cara Jones is on the board because I value the important partnership between the Board and its orchestra musicians. I also believe that access to high quality classical music has never been more important, and we ALL have a part to play in bringing high quality musical performance to the community and making sure music education is for all kids. Hornist Cara Jones is an active free-lance artist in Northern California and a member of the Sacramento Choral Society Orchestra. She has performed with many orchestras, including the Sacramento Philharmonic and Opera, Modesto Symphony, and Santa Rosa Symphony, to name a few. Cara performs with the Arizona Musicfest Festival Orchestra and the Music in the Mountains Festival Orchestra. A Pi Kappa Lambda graduate of California State University, Sacramento, she earned both her Bachelor of Music and Master of Music Degrees with Honors. Cara has been an active teacher and coach for brass ensembles and youth symphony members. She and her husband live in Elk Grove, CA with their son, daughter, and two cats.
