Diane Czaplewski

Diane Czaplewski is a violinist with the Kettle Moraine Symphony. She has had a passion for music for as long as she can remember and has honed her skills through private classical training. Diane professes an eclectic taste in music including folk, rock, pop, jazz, be-bop and “schmaltzy love songs.” She has extensive experience not only with classical symphony orchestras, such as the Kettle Moraine Symphony, but also as a performer in pit orchestras, wedding ensembles, and ensembles for benefits and various social and charitable events. While classically trained, Diane wants to make sure that everyone knows that classically-trained players can rock, too! She has played a five-string violectra through an effects unit and amplifier with nightclub bands – an accomplishment she’s as proud of as any of her others. Diane is a wife, mother, and step-mother in her spare time and is sharing her love of music and musical performance with her youngest daughter.
