Their first concert, dubbed Rockin’ Harare, has been set for September 11 at the Borrowdale Race Course, while the following night, Pop rocker-turned-musical theatre star, Cito, will headline the Summer Night Concert, an evening of light classical and pop show songs.
International 1980s superstar Jennifer Rush will headline the third concert on October 23 in her debut Zimbabwean performance, which is part of a southern African tour.
A line-up of Zimbabwean performers will share the stage with the headline acts at the concerts.
SEM’s Minky Walters said they were expecting loads of excitement.
“Concerts in previous years have been well-supported and response to the music and the performers has been great. So we anticipate a similar reaction to the superb line-up of entertainers scheduled to perform in the Summer of Music series,” she said.
