DIANA KETLER BIOGRAPHY
 
"The Pianist was astonishingly refined and tasteful Diana Ketler. I have rarely heard such delicacy, yet she also rose to occasions of great power easily. Her phrasing was exquisite and myriad colours were summoned from the piano"
New Concert Review.
 
A native of Riga, Latvia, Diana Ketler began her piano studies at the age of 5, encouraged by both her parents.
