Masterful World Musicians Perform “Live at Center Stage”

Middleman Productions proudly announces an unprecedented live concert series that brings a provocative and highly infectious blend of world music and genre-defining recording artists to Cape Cod.

The interactive concert milieu will offer a masterful concoction of world music: R&B, Jazz, Blues, Latin and more. Each of the impressive acts will perform live at the Cape Cod Community Media Center and the concerts will be streamed via the Internet for listeners around the world, along with behind-the-scenes pre- and post-show interviews with the artists.
