Payomet’s Open Arms music series brings music, language and culture of different lands and indigenous peoples into performance spaces of every kind across the Cape, from living rooms to schools and music tents. As often as possible we will create opportunities to welcome into our homes and break bread with these artists, touring from far and wide. By putting the spotlight on artistic excellence from around the world, we aspire to transcend borders, cultivate community, and enrich lives. 

El nuevo ciclo musical Open Arms de Payomet Performing Arts Center lleva la música y las costumbres de pueblos indígenas a escenarios de todo tipo a lo largo de toda la región, desde hogares hasta escuelas y salas conciertos. Haciendo hincapié en la excelencia artística alrededor del mundo, aspiramos a trascender fronteras, cultivar el espíritu de comunidad y enriquecer la cultura.
