THE LATEST FROM DIANE JONES


I've had exciting news about Feminine Fusion, the nationally syndicated program celebrating women in classical music.  The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded a grant to support the production of this program!  This has been a labor of love for nearly 8 years, and to get this recognition is incredibly rewarding.


You’ll want to be sure to keep a close eye on the Performances page throughout the year.  I'll be playing with the  315 Ensemble, the Onondaga Civic Symphony Orchestra, and the Central New York Flute Choir.   (If you come to any of the performances, please do say hello.)


There are two big announcements - the official announcements are coming soon, but I can tell you this much.  I have an exciting short work for piano and orchestra that is due to be recorded and released in 2025.  And I am working on a collaborative dance piece as well!  I'll let you know the details as soon as they are available for public consumption, but for now - it's shaping up to be a busy summer!


If you follow my social media, you've probably noticed that things have been pretty quiet.  I'll be much more present on Facebook in the coming months, updating you on music news and information about my radio broadcasts on that page. You’ll also see posts and videos about the upcoming  rides I’m doing to raise funds for cancer research and support. There is more about that journey on my blog, Jonsey Cycles for Cancer, and on my YouTube channel. I appreciate any support you give, whether it is a donation or simply sharing this with others.


Don’t forget to check out Classic Choices all week and Feminine Fusion every weekend on WCNY.  More and more stations around the country are adding Feminine Fusion to their lineup, and I hope you’ve had the chance to take a listen


I hope your spring and summer are wonderful!
