The Southern Institute of Technology is proud to present Arts on Tour to Invercargill in 2014. Arts on Tour is an exciting cultural event that has a plethora of nationally and internationally accomplished New Zealand artists that will be touring around New Zealand. From classical violin to stand-up comedy the tour provides a variety of unique shows that will have something for everyone’s taste.
SIT’s decision to support this cultural extravaganza is to promote the growth of arts in the region and also give a strong taste of the professional arts industry to SIT arts students. SIT’s Chief Executive, Penny Simmonds said “SIT’s range of arts and creative media courses develop the skill and ingenuity of our very talented students. Our involvement in Arts on Tour will also provide a unique opportunity for our students to meet the artists and learn first-hand about the demands of becoming a professional in the creative industries.”
Arts on Tour will bring down a different act each month between the months of April and September for performances in an around Invercargill. The first act will be critically acclaimed violinist Fiona Pears who will be performing at SIT Centre Stage on April 24. In regards to one of her recent performances the New Zealand Herald reviewer said “banish from your minds all preconceptions of orthodoxy in the world of the violin. Fiona Pears has largely rewritten the script” (Bills, Peter Jan 09, 2012, Effervescent Kiwi soloist grabs life by its violin strings, NZ Herald)
The evening will kick off at 7.30pm with Fiona Pears performing alongside UK pianist, Ian Tilley and talented gypsy-jazz guitar duo, La Petite Manouche. Tickets can be purchased from Ticket Direct or Cue TV.
