In North America she
toured extensively as a solo artist, as well as performing with
such orchestras as The Boston Pops under John Williams and guesting
on numerous television shows and specials including several appearances
on The Tonight Show.
Breaking with classical
tradition, she has toured with Gordon Lightfoot and Tracy Chapman,
and recorded with Roger Whittaker and Georges Zamfir. As a soloist
Liona became the first performer ever to play in the new Paris
Opera House. A highly successful recording career for CBS/Sony
Records brought Liona Boyd's guitar music to a large international
audience.
The Canberrra Times
in Australia wrote, "Breathtakingly beautiful playing, the
most musically accomplished and technically flawless playing
I have heard from any guitarist."
