THE LATEST FROM DIANE JONES


2025 is turning into an exciting year!  Check out the Performances page for information on four performances coming up in short order.  And as always, I'll be playing with the Onondaga Civic Symphony Orchestra, and the Central New York Flute Choir.   (If you come to any of the performances, please do say hello.)


Also coming up in just a couple of months is the release of Anna Kislitsyna's recording of "Inner Light," a companion piece to "Soul Dance" which was released a couple of years ago.  The folks at Parma Recordings did a great job, and it's coming to their Navona label in August.


And the work commissioned by the Syracuse City Ballet is finally coming to the stage!  I've been so thrilled to work with this incredible company of dancers, as well as their artistic director, and I'm excited to see the end result next Spring.  Watch for updates on that!


How's this for some fun?  I've been cast as the voice of the Lady Giant in the Covey Theater production of "Into the Woods" this summer!  These productions are always fun and exciting, and I hope you can come to at least one performance.


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.


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'll see you in the concert halls!
