Music lovers can look forward to a combination of English and Afrikaans songs at this special concert. Nianell will be performing songs from Who Painted the Moon?, Angel Tongue and Life's Gift.
She will also perform a selection of tracks fromher latest album called I Know I'm Lucky.
Warming up the stage for Nianell will be Lowe whose debut album, Yesterday's Diary, has sold more than 12500 copies.
Lowe's duet on the Garth Taylor, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton single, Islands in the Stream and Cabin Fever, a duet with fellow Idols contestant Ezra Lingeveldt, has won her Samas.
Tickets for a superb musical evening on Saturday July 25 at 8.30pm cost between R90 and R105.
