Concert
and recording artist, composer, conductor, and international television
personality, Diane Bish has displayed her dazzling virtuosity and unique
showmanship worldwide. Her performances are hailed by critics as stunning,
fiery, and astonishing.
Miss Bish is best known for
her international television series The Joy of Music, in which she combines
exhilarating organ and ensemble performances with an informative, inspirational
narrative and exciting world travel. Over 350 programs have been produced
in famous cathedrals and concert halls, and over 200 million people are
also able to see the program on a weekly basis.
Miss Bish was awarded the National
Citation by the National Federation of Music Clubs of America. Considered
to be the Federation's highest honor, she shares the rare distinction
- with such legends as Leonard Bernstein, Eugene Ormandy, Van Cliburn,
Robert Shaw, Irving Berlin, and Fred Waring - of receiving this award
for "distinguished service to the musical, artistic, and cultural
life of the nation."
Maintaining a busy concert
career, Diane Bish is also a consummate church musician. She has served
as senior organist and artist-in-residence at Coral Ridge Church in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, for over 20 years.
