A powerful celebration of women’s artistic excellence will take centre stage in Harare later this month as the Magitare Evening of the Arts returns with a special edition dedicated to female creativity.
Set for Saturday, 28 March 2026, the event will be held at REPS Theatre in Belgravia and will feature a dynamic lineup of Zimbabwean female artists performing across music and theatre.
The production will bring together three of the country’s most respected creative forces: the soulful storytelling and acoustic guitar of Tariro neGitare, the internationally acclaimed a cappella ensemble Nobuntu, and the multi-disciplinary stage presence of Lady Tshawe.
Organisers say the event aims to highlight the depth, resilience and innovation that women bring to Zimbabwe’s creative industries while providing a platform for artistic collaboration.
Magitare, which has built a reputation as a space that celebrates acoustic music and authentic storytelling, will use this edition to shine a spotlight on women in the arts.
“This edition is dedicated to celebrating the woman in the creative space,” the Magitare team said in a statement. “We need to create our own spaces as women and showcase the excellence that is already apparent. This isn’t just a concert; it’s a statement of our contribution to the creative economy and a celebration of the spaces we are building for ourselves.”
The upcoming show will also mark a significant milestone for the platform, as it launches the inaugural Magitare Evening of the Arts, which organisers say will now become an annual event held every March.
Positioned after activities connected to Creative Economy Week and following celebrations of International Women’s Day earlier in the month, the show is intended to serve as a major cultural highlight closing Women’s Month in Zimbabwe.
Each of the featured performers brings a distinctive artistic voice to the stage. Tariro neGitare is widely recognised for her deeply expressive acoustic performances and storytelling rooted in Zimbabwean culture. Nobuntu has gained global recognition for its rich vocal harmonies and powerful performances celebrating African identity, while Lady Tshawe is known for her vibrant stage productions that blend theatre, music and spoken word.
The organisers say bringing these artists together will offer audiences a rare and immersive experience of music, theatre and storytelling led entirely by women.
The event will feature two performances on the day, including a matinee show at 2:00 PM and an evening performance at 7:00 PM.
Tickets are priced at US$10, with bookings available at The Spotlight.
With its focus on celebrating women’s voices and expanding platforms for female creatives, Magitare Evening of the Arts is expected to attract arts lovers, cultural enthusiasts and supporters of Zimbabwe’sgrowing creative economy.
