Greene is currently the organist and pianist at Christ Episcopal Church in Newton. The duo has performed together for twenty years and recorded two CD’s, Beethoven, Brahms, and Kreisler (2010) and String Break (2014).

"Music connects us more deeply to the beauty and wonder of God's creation. I am delighted that Diana and Nicholas are offering their talents, and that Christ Church creates space in our community where this caliber of musicianship is celebrated,” remarked the Rev. Chris Streeter, Rector, Christ Church Newton.” I hope that those who don't normally spend Sunday mornings here will consider joining us for this exceptional concert."
