Fiona Pears' fourth album 'Fire and Light' features her fantastic Kiwi band plus the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
Virtuoso New Zealand violinist Fiona Pears has spent the last few years performing at prestigious venues around the world. She appeared on TVNZ's 'Breakfast' impressing hosts with outstanding work to date and effervescent and electrifying performance. Fiona already has a solid fan base in New Zealand, consistently selling out performances following the release of her previous three CD's and DVD which feature her own unique compositions.
She has opened for artists such as Tony Bennett, Ottmar Liebert and the late Victor Bourge. Fiona has also recorded for many artists around NZ including Hayley Westenra and Bic Runga. In September 2005 Fiona performed her compositions at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire receiving an overwhelming audience reaction. She also co-arranged three of her pieces for full orchestra and performed them with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra in November of that year.
In London, in 2006 she joined Heather Nova on her European tour, performing her own pieces as well as joining Heather on stage, this time filling the role of lead guitarist on the violin! The response has been incredible, not only did she sell out of CDs and DVDs during the tour; she has subsequently acquired a large and dedicated fan base throughout Europe.
