Welcome! I'm based in the Boston area. My e-mail address is diane@dianetaraz.com and my phone number is 781-648-3719. (Click on the photo for more and larger images.)
I sing all over the place, both solo and with various groups. You can find out where I'll
pop up next by clicking "Concert Calendar," below.
I write songs and love to interpret traditional music. I am the director of the
Lexington Historical Society Colonial Singers, who perform at various events at
Lexington's historic houses.
I am a member of the Gloucester Hornpipe & Clog Society,
a six-member band that offers maritime, Colonial, and Celtic music on a wealth of traditional
instruments.
I am also a member of Vox Lucens, a 12-voice Renaissance
choir. We are artists-in-residence at the Church of Our Saviour in Arlington, Mass.
I lead sing-alongs for babies and toddlers, up to about age four. Click below to find out more.
And just to fill in any extra time I might have, I sing with the UUlations, an eight-woman
a cappella group.
