Diane Martinson Music Testimonials: my clients say it best –

Diane, Thank you. Your solos and piano music were beautiful!

Deb & Craig M

Diane Jazz Trio, The music was perfect, we will have you back for another birthday party.

Tony L

Martinson Jazz Quintet – The music fit perfectly, we were able to talk to each other and people got up and danced when they wanted just as we had hoped. Also thank you for backing me up on my special song. We had found other instrumental groups but having the vocalist just makes it that much more special and the sax is one of my favorite instruments. Thank you.

Dear Diane and JJ, Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful music for my grandmother’s funeral. We appreciate your professionalism and talent. Would not have been the same without such wonderful music, you have a beautiful voice. Thanks again.

Diane, I got absolute goose bumps when you sang at Lisa’s memorial service, a wonderful tribute to her.

Memorial Services

The universal language of music is calming, healing, uplifting, and unifying when people gather together in remembrance. Vocal solos enhance the service by providing a wonderful tribute, and the singer can also help lead hymns.

I sing for Celebration of Life, Funeral, and Memorial services in metro Minneapolis / St. Paul, Minnesota.

I’m available to sing with my pianist (offers a portable piano), or your provided church organist / pianist. My portable microphone and speaker allows me to perform at funeral home locations that don’t have vocalist sound equipment.

There are different service outlines you can follow for selecting music. Your service location or officiant can give you a planning Outline to assist you, then contact me with your music selections or questions. Music varies depending on the location, whether it’s a church funeral, celebration of life, or memorial remembrance service, but often times there are 2 solos, and a hymn or two sung all together. Music can be sent to me by Fax or PDF files.
