Featured Musical Guest
Coleen Dieker
A musician since the age of four, Coleen Dieker is a versatile performer skilled in piano, guitar, flute, ukulele, and violin. She studied at Boston’s Berklee College of Music for two years before returning to Kansas City’s vibrant music scene. Her time at Berklee helped shape her approach to music as both a passion and a profession—one not confined to any single genre or style.
After establishing herself within both Jewish and secular communities in Kansas City, Coleen began sharing her talents with congregations and audiences across the United States. She has collaborated with renowned artist Josh Warshawsky, further expanding her reach and impact.
Now living a nomadic lifestyle, Coleen travels the globe, offering a wide range of musical experiences—from soulful song-leading on guitar and piano to dynamic performances on electric violin and spirited fiddling that elevates any musical setting.
