Kelly’s first album, Dreaming, was released in 2004, when she was just 12 years old. The young talent has performed at the Newport Jazz Festival, where she opened for Jamie Cullum in 2010, as well as the Montreal Jazz Festival. In 2009, she toured France, where she played at the Jazz à Juan Festival, and she has also played in Croatia.
Her trip to South Africa is to partly show her support to the Rebecca Well’s Project – a non-profit organisation that highlights the plight of South Africa’s disadvantaged women and children. All the proceeds from her performance will go to the organisation.
The evening begins at 6.30pm with a VIP reception, which includes a dinner with Kelly (R500). The concert starts at 7.30pm (R150 or R75 with student ID) and is followed by a meet-and-greet and CD signing by Kelly. Tickets will be available at the door.
