Other presenters please note availability, for your venues,
of performances and workshops by Diana McIntosh.

She delivers program notes that sound real but extremely cerebral. They are so profuse, her audience hears but tiny samples of the music.

Diana McIntosh is, in fact, a mountaineer. She combines music and mountains in a full-evening one-woman show SOLITARY CLIMB in which her audience shares a daring experience "scaling the sheer face of new music."

Maude Pilly (a favorite Diana McIntosh character) comes from the backward Dandelion, Manitoba. She is wonderfully sophisticated, perhaps from reading unintelligible program notes.
