“Feminine Fusion” is a weekly radio program that highlights the influence of women in classical music. These are the women throughout history and into the present day who create, perform, and inspire. Composer/announcer Diane Jones of WCNY-FM in Syracuse, NY is your host, and every week showcases some of these remarkable women.
Diane Jones is a free-lance composer of chamber and solo music, based in Central New York. She is also an active performer, as a member of Samba Laranja and the Central New York Flute Choir. Diane is the mid-day host on WCNY-FM.
Recently host Diane Jones stopped by the WXXI Classical 91.5 studios to talk with Julia Figueras. Listen to their conversation OnRecord.

“The world at large thinks a woman can’t be creative. A woman can contribute in a special way.

My musical life has been a frustration of half promises, then bad performances, followed by no more performances.” – James Murdoch, Australia’s Contemporary Composers -
