Diana Torbert

Diana Torbert has been a student of the Vidyadhara since the early 1970s. She is a professional pianist, accompanist and well-known teacher in Halifax, performing often with Symphony Nova Scotia and Rhapsody Quintet.

For this tribute, Diana would like to offer Cape Breton Lullaby, a piece for chorus and piano.

Listen to Cape Breton Lullaby

Diana writes: "We moved to Halifax in 1987, just 3 months after the Vidyadhara's Parinirvana. It was like coming home, and I still feel that way after 20 years. This excerpt, Cape Breton Lullaby, is from a CBC recording called "Songs of Home" with Halifax Camarata Singers, a professional choral group that I accompanied for many years."

Cape Breton Lullaby, is track 2 on the CD Songs of Home.
Halifax Camarata Singers:
Jeff Joudrey, director
Diana Torbert, pianist
Recorded by CBC for broadcast on ALL THE BEST.
