Originally from Vancouver, DIANE ENGLISH, alto, made what some consider the rash decision to continue her musical studies at the University of Toronto.  Much to the disbelief of friends and family, she stayed in Toronto,  completing a Master of Arts degree in Music and then joining the the CBC. Over a decade there, she enjoyed programming music, recording concerts, and hosting a number of shows on CBC Radio Two. Diane’s choral activities have included stints with Tafelmusik Chamber Choir, Opera Atelier, Consort Caritatis, and the Elora Festival Singers. She’s been fortunate to tour Japan, China, and Europe with these ensembles. After six years as a self-employed arts manager, Diane now spends her days working at Parks and Recreation Ontario, an organization dedicated to raising awareness about the benefits of recreation for all.  She lives in Riverdale with her husband Rick and son Evan.
