Mae performs a selection of musical items from all four of her smash hit albums that have made her one of the most sought-after acts in the world.
  
The wild child of 90s classical music has performed in front of everyone from Prince Charles to the handover of Hong Kong to China last year.
  
Mae was in South Africa in February as part of a promotional tour, during which she spent a day in Soweto with the Bapedi Youth Orchestra and the African Ensemble Youth Orchestra. -- Sapa
