From her earliest years, it was clear that Diane had a talent unlike any other. Before graduating high school, she had amassed an impressive list of achievements, highlighted by her performing with the Pittsburgh Symphony as the featured soloist to a sold out Heinz Hall.
In the years that followed, Diane garnered worldwide attention for her award- winning compositions for film and television, all the while continuing to tour America, playing such legendary concert halls as Alice Tully Hall in New York City.
More recent performances include Steinway Hall, Town Hall, CBC Canada, WNYC Radio and CNN television. Diane is Pianist In Residence for major UNICEF events in the United States and worldwide. She performs, too, for events sponsored by the United Nations.
An accomplished singer and actress, Diane has appeared in musicals, including the ABC production of "Pinocchio's Christmas," in which she portrays the Snow Queen. She has written music for Lincoln Center "Out-Of-Doors" Festival and composed the score for the musical "The Coolest Cat In Town", presented at New York City Center. Recently, Diane performed at Feinstein's at The Regency, and can be seen at The Carlyle, New York, One If By Land in Greenwich Village and Light Horse in Jersey City.
Her first CD, "In My Mind", recorded at Soundtrack Studios in New York, is available at Colony Records in New York City (1619 Broadway
212-265-2050), at performances and now on iTunes, as well as through CD Baby at www.cdbaby.com/cd/dianeleslie.

What a beautiful touch and technique. Also, I like the interesting style, mixing original compositions with classical and others. Thank you for the add, DF MICHAEL.
