AKA will be performing his second Orchestra
show, this weekend on Saturday November 2 at the ICC Arena in Durban, with the
KZN Philharmonic Orchestra.
Teaming up with Durban's very own
Afrotainment and urban events promoter, Vertex Events, AKA will masterfully bring
the worlds of hip hop and classic music with the talents of the KZN
Philharmonic Orchestra which is widely regarded as one of Africa’s premier
orchestras. This follows AKA’S historical and successful show in March 2019
which took place at the Sun Arena Times Square, Menlyn.
Excited about the show, AKA expressed:
"I am excited to be bringing my Orchestra show to the city of eThekwini.
This is my favourite city in the world to perform in, I love the energy of the
people, they show love and it’s so easy to reciprocate. This show on 2 November
is one for the books. I am inviting fans from all over the country to come
enjoy with us and enjoy the warm hearts of the Durbanites as we take you on a
musical experience".
"I always enjoy bringing major events
to my city Durban. It helps the city to continue be number 1 tourist
destination in the country. The AKA Orchestra event is one of the best concepts
in the event space currently” he continued.
“I am delighted that the KZN Philharmonic
Orchestra is performing with AKA. This will afford the orchestra an opportunity
to work on a different genre of music than what they are used to and the
musicians are excited to be working with such an accomplished artist,” says
Bongani Tembe, CEO and Artistic Director of the KZN Phil.
The AKA Orchestra will be conducted by
Kwa-Zulu Natal’s very own KZN Philharmonic Orchestra which is widely regarded
as one of Africa's premier orchestras. The attendees of the night will see the
platinum selling Hip-hop artist perform his greatest hits providing for a newly
found appreciation for AKA’s artistry. The show is set to have a fantastic
array for a local line up and surprise special guests that will not only
elevate the show but complement the order of performances.
Concert starts at 21h00 (doors open at 16h00
until midnight, and no under 18’s allowed) at the ICC Arena in Durban. Tickets
are available at Computicket
