We are committed to developing the local performing arts industry and nurturing young talent. and are thrilled to use our launch event as a platform to showcase their exceptional abilities. It is fantastic exposure to be part of the opening act to one of South Africa’s biggest stars,” says Olivier.

The performers offering a special prelude to Lira’s concert are solo guitarist Alex Moldovanos, who will perform “Why wait for falling stars to make your wishes”; vocalists Angela Khumalo and Ben Qwabe who will sing a duet of Alicia Keys’ “If I ain’t you”; Ntando Dlamini who will dance a Hip Hop Solo to “Cold Case Love”, and Bianca Caldeira who will sing a rendition of one of Adele’s famous songs. The concert will be the first big event to be staged at the multi-purpose Arena which boasts state-of-the-art equipment, and over 700 square metres of floor space.
