In pursuit of an orchestral career, Diana has participated in such prestigious summer festivals as the National Repertory Orchestra and the Sarasota Summer Music Festival. Having completed her bachelor's degree in performance at the Eastman School of Music as a student of Richard Killmer, she recently completed a master's degree at the Shepherd School of Music, studying with Robert Atherholt, where she won the Sallie Shepherd Perkins Prize for Best Achievement.

Diana's interest in educational concerts began at the Eastman School, where her quintet, the Gusto Winds, trained with Young Audiences of Rochester and performed in local schools. At the Shepherd School, she spent three semesters coordinating and performing in the Just for U Music Program, or JUMP!, a series of student-produced educational concerts for children. Diana is thrilled to have organized and narrated a variety of concerts, ranging from a program about instrumental acoustics to a musical telling of Pinocchio.

Currently, Diana is accepting new oboe students in the Birmingham area, near Mountain Brook and Cahaba Heights, and hopes to have as busy a studio as she had in Houston!.

Diana grew up in Harmony, Rhode Island. In her spare time, she loves to knit sweaters and read classic literature. She is married to Andrew Dunn, cellist.
