Diane Jones loves writing for performers, as evidenced by her many collaborations.  With compositions performed by The Relâche Ensemble, The Da Capo Chamber Players, The Völs Quartet, and Flautet, Diane's music reflects her rich, eclectic influences and her love of line and rhythm.  Her lyrical voice is clearly evident in all of her works, from the complexities reflected in Language of the Cosmos to the serenity of Porch Music to Fair Sarah, written for beginning band.

Diane has added radio announcer to her resume, and can be heard Saturdays from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm on WCNY-FM, Central New York's Classical Radio Station.  She also serves as Vice President of the Society for New Music, and has had her music featured on Fresh Ink, the weekly new music broadcast produced by the Society. 

A recipient of the Billy Joel Fellowship, a fellowship with the Chamber Music Institute at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, and awarded the prestigious Grace F. and Theodore Berger Award from the University of Delaware, Diane has also been inducted into Pi Kappa Lambda, the music honor society.  Active as a performer as well as a composer, Diane regularly performs with Samba Laranja.  She has played flute and piccolo in regional orchestras, and was one half of the flute duo, Flutes of Fancy.
