While standing in the corner of a crowded room of flutists, Dianna Link heard her music played for the first time and decided right there that she was a composer. Link writes music that is driven by narrative, nature, and the little things that make life meaningful. Her music is carefully thought out and she visually maps out the emotional arch of each piece, using it as a guide to direct the form, rhythmic textures, and sonic colors of the piece. 

Link writes for everything from intimate chamber works to expansive large ensemble works. She has collaborated with numerous musicians and ensembles including; The Colorado Symphony, the Denver Young Artists Orchestra, Ivalas String Quartet, ~ Nois, Atlys String Quartet, Emissary Flute Quartet and Christina Jennings. Her music has been performed on Colorado Public Radio, the National Flute Association Convention, CU Faculty Tuesday Music Series, and Pendulum New Music.

In 2021 Link was mentored by Alexandra Gardner as part of the Elizabeth Henriksen mentorship program through the Boulanger Initiative. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Composition from the University of Colorado, Boulder College of Music where she studied with Annika Socolofsky, Jeff Nytch, Daniel Kellogg, and Carter Pann. In 2023 Link earned an Artist diploma as a composer fellow in the Gabriela Ortiz composing studio through O Academy.

When Link is not composing, you can find her hanging out with her tortoise named Shelldon, baking sourdough bread, making homemade pizza, or wandering through wildflower fields in the Rocky Mountains.
