The History of the Multi Music Fest
Over the past 15 years, the MultiMusicFest (MMF), has been the biggest fundraiser the MC Chatman Center has relied on to help generate funds for its programs. This annual event is designed to bring a diversified audience together to celebrate the art of great musical entertainment. We have showcased various genres of music including Jazz, Latin Soul, and R&B, Japanese Taiko, Disco, and Gospel. Each year the MultiMusicFest brings in nationally known artists. Past artists include Peter White, Euge Groove, Michael Franks, Najee, Mr. Will Downing, Russell Thompkins Jr., and the Stylistics, Zapp, Shirley Murdock, Cameo, the Manhattans, Chi-Lites, Dramatics, Spyro Gyra, Jonathan Butler, Tony Toni Tonè, Dru Hill, Evelyn Champagne King, Hiroshima, Kirk Whalum, Roy Ayers, Gerald Albright, Marvin Sapp, Donnie McClurkin, and CeCe Winans. We have utilized prime Cleveland venues such as Cain Park, the Cleveland Metro Parks Zoo, Severance Hall, Tri-C Metro Campus Auditorium, and Playhouse Squares' Palace and State Theaters. Our attendance over the years has grown to 2200+
