Diane Bish has displayed her virtuosity and unique showmanship the world over. Her performances have been hailed by critics as "stunning, virtuoso, fiery, and astonishing." Through numerous recordings, concerts, and weekly television appearances, Diane Bish is considered by many to be the most visible organist in the world today. Miss Bish is best known as the host of the international television series, The Joy of Music, that is available to over 300 million viewers weekly. It features Miss Bish playing famous organs in solo and with other classical musicians in cathedrals, churches, and concert halls from around the world.

Miss Bish's performances have received rave reviews in the United States and abroad. She is an internationally acclaimed musician with many honors including the National Citation from The National Federation of Music Clubs of America (1989). Miss Bish was the first organist to receive this award for "the highest honor for distinguished service to the musical, artistic, and cultural life of the nation." She shares this rare distinction with such legends as Leonard Bernstein, Eugene Ormandy, Van Cliburn, Robert Shaw, Irving Berlin, and Fred Waring.
On Apr. 9, Miss Bish will literally "pull out all the stops" with a concert of thrilling organ favorites, traditional classics, and some of her own hymn arrangements to demonstrate the full resources of the three-manual 950 Rodgers organ.
