One of  McIntosh's most popular theatrical musical works, her satirical Eliptosonics, is
a send-up of avant-garde program notes.  Amy Duncan, a New York reviewer, wrote, "Multimedia
performance is a natural outcome of the age, and McIntosh is one of its important voices.  Watch for her."

Diana McIntosh is, in fact, a mountaineer. She combines music and mountains in a full-evening
one-woman show Solitary Climb, in which her audience shares a daring experience "scaling the sheer face of new music."

Maude Pilly (Diana's alter-ego, and Manitoba's Sarah Binks) comes from remote Dandelion, Manitoba. She is a folksy and entertaining composer/performer.
