ITEC 2001 Artists

International performer, educator, and recording artist Deanna Swoboda made her first concert appearance at 9 and her first appearance as a soloist at age 15.

Today, as a Conn artist, Deanna plays Conn instruments exclusively. She has embarked on a solo career in which people refer to her as the 'Joani Appleseed' of music. The West Coast Rag named her the "Tuba Goddess" as she conducts, entertains, and performs solo around the world, uniting people of all ages, everywhere, through music.

As a video artist for Silver Burdette-Ginn, Deanna shares her talents in elementary schools around the country, in the new video series 2000. Recently signed as a Summit recording artist, this year will mark the release of her first solo compact disc (Summit Records DCD245).
