Dianna Grabowski
Mezzo-soprano Dianna Grabowski, described as “glamorous” and “glowing-toned” by the Dallas Morning News, is an active performer of music spanning the Renaissance through the 21st century. Dianna particularly values the collaborative nature of classical singing, be it in chamber music, oratorio, opera, choral music, early music, or new music, and is constantly inspired by the generosity and talent of her musical colleagues.
As a concert soloist, Dianna has performed with such groups as the Winston-Salem Symphony, TENET, Longview Symphony Orchestra, Dallas Bach Society, and Bourbon Baroque. Memorable performances include singing with the New York Philharmonic and The Crossing in the world premiere of Fire in My Mouth by Julia Wolfe, the recording of which was nominated for a Grammy. Dianna also sings frequently with professional ensembles such as the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, Lorelei Ensemble, and True Concord.
Dianna has been featured on many commercial recordings, including two with the baroque ensemble Armonia Celeste, of which she was a founding member. The group's debut album, "Udite, Amanti - Lovers, Beware!" (2014) was followed by “The Rebel Queen,” (2021) both released by Centaur Records. She is also featured as the alto soloist on a new edition of Handel’s Messiah, recorded with the Dallas Bach Society, which was released in fall 2024.
In addition to performing, Dianna is a committed voice teacher to students of all ages. She currently teaches voice at the Stephen F. Austin State University Preparatory Division and has given masterclasses at various universities. She currently lives (and cooks and gardens) in Nacogdoches, TX with her husband, conductor Gregory Grabowski, and two sons, Ben and Sam.
