The distinctive voice of Reitzes has been heard over WABE’s airwaves since 1979, as she is one of Atlanta’s favorite classical announcers. As host of the weekday program Second Cup Concert, which airs from 9 a.m. until noon, she selects music especially to complement your morning tasks.

In addition to Second Cup, Reitzes produces and hosts WABE’s Atlanta Symphony Orchestra broadcasts and Spivey Soirée series. She served as Program Director from 1992-2007, and became Director of Arts and Cultural Programming in 2007. Hosting arts features and interviews is an ongoing joy of her job.

Reitzes pursued graduate study at the Indiana University School of Music in Bloomington. She lists her favorite exercise as reading - preferably while eating! Her favorite island getaway is Manhattan. Reitzes resides in Atlanta with husband Don, who chairs the Sociology Department at Georgia State University. The Reitzes’ have two children, Jackie and Michael, and a golden non-retriever named Rex.


Make sure you attend breakfast this week to learn more about BBA, its thriving community, and to network with some of the best-connected group of individuals in Buckhead.
