Over the course of the evening she will take the audience on a musical journey through her career – from legendary hits such as Planet za zadet (also released in English as Straight to the Moon) and Malo tu malo tam all the way to Vrhovi and her latest creations. She will be joined on stage by the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra, her regular band and top instrumentalists, as she serves up an unforgettable blend of pop, soul and classical performed at the very highest level. With her charisma, energy and genuine artistry, Neisha will once again show why she is among the most enduringly popular and respected artists in Slovenia.
