THE LATEST FROM DIANE JONES
There have been some big changes for me in recent months. I did write up a blog entry explaining what brought me to a new job in Virginia, so I won't rehash that here. On the whole, though, it's been a tremendously positive experience in the transition.
With the move, I'm still a mid-day host on a classical radio station (10am to 3pm Eastern on WHRO-FM - listen from anywhere!) Feminine Fusion is now in its 11th season, and still being heard across the country. I've also started a new podcast, Meet Me Backstage, to highlight information about arts events, and chat with artists and arts organizers. I've had some great conversations already with the folks from the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra, and I have some others in the works, including some incredible women who'll be of interest to the Feminine Fusion aficionados.
With the move and the corresponding stress reduction, I've also rediscovered my creativity. I'm very proud of my new orchestral work, "Ruby," which was commissioned by the Auburn Symphony Orchestra for it's 40th season. (Check the Performances page for details on the premiere.) I've also got a couple of new works sketched out, and the ideas just keep coming. Look for quite a bit more music coming your way.
Remember, too, to please keep your eye on Jonsey Cycles for Cancer, and my YouTube channel for more on my rides and my cancer journey.
