During the last decade Diyet has performed nationally in Canada and internationally in Europe. Performance highlights include major folk, jazz, world and multi-disciplinary festivals and theatres in Canada, the Messiah Complex with Against The Grain Theatre, a tour in the UK and with a second tour in Germany and The Netherlands slated for early 2024.
