DIANA McINTOSH
COMPOSER

McIntosh, the exasperated composer, in a scene from her multi-media theatrical work, "Eliptosonics"

Photo by Vivian Sturdee

"A quick glance at Canadian Diana McIntosh's list of works gives the distinct impression that here is a
composer with a keen sense of humour and no qualms about mocking the establishment."

"An astonishingly accomplished artist...." Canadian Press, New York

McIntosh's scores are available from the Canadian Music Centre info@musiccentre.ca
