For some 30 years, Dianne has sculpted a multifaceted career in music. Her creative passion includes a professional track in composing original works, along with crafting innovative arrangements for pianists, singers, choral ensembles and the like.
Dianne often fuses in her arrangements the gems from traditional church hymns, along with stalwart masterworks from classical art music. Her original compositions reflect contemporary subjects ranging from global awareness, the deeply personal human experience, to topics of a spiritual nature. Dianne shares her original works throughout the Northwest. Committed to building bridges to audiences, she explores a wide range of non-traditional venues for live music.
Since 2017, Dianne has had her compositions for students regularly featured in the Cascadia Composers’ yearly sponsored concert “In Good Hands” that connects young students with the music of living, local composers. Cascadia Composers is Oregon’s local group of NACUSA (National Association of Composers USA).
