Short bio

Diana Rowan’s unique sound reflects her unusual upbringing – born in Ireland, she has lived in Washington D.C., Belgium, and the Mediterranean island of Cyprus before making her permanent home in Berkeley, California. Diana’s classical training instilled a lifelong love of J.S. Bach, Franz Schubert and Claude Debussy, among others, which combines with her studies of Celtic and Mediterranean/Middle Eastern music to create a compelling, timeless, and original sound.

Diana recently released her CD Panta Rhei to critical acclaim. The recording melds Diana’s major influences – classical, Celtic, and Mediterranean music – into a cohesive whole. Fans of Savina Yannatou’s intricate arrangements, Kate Bush’s passion, Lunasa’s drive, Loreena McKennitt’s cosmopolitanism, and Ross Daly’s refinement will find a home in this collection of songs.
Bringing their considerable talents to bear on Panta Rhei, Diana’s collaborators are:

• Peter Maund, legendary percussionist of Ensemble Alcatraz, Skyedance, and many more,
• Sonja Drakulich (vocals) and Gari Hegedus (multi-instrumentalist), the soul of Stellamara,
• Karl Franzen, guitarist and singer of Broceliande and others,
• Paddy League, multi-instrumentalist and accompanist to Grey Larsen and Susan McKweon,
• James Boblak, engineer and vocalist on Panta Rhei.
