She has also worked a lot with theater music and performing arts, among others. at Scenkonst Västernorrland, Scenkonst Sörmland and Byteatern, Kalmar County Theater.

Solo concerts:

Fia gives solo concerts with marimba, usually with completely acoustic programs as the instrument's warm deep sound creates its own unique resonance. Music from all corners of the world meets here together with both classical gems and original music. With dancing joy of playing and virtuoso musicality, you get to go on a journey and get to know this fantastic instrument.
