In the days of chamber music, 200 or 300 years ago, people would gather in their drawing rooms or salons to listen to live musicians. It was a way to get together with friends and, at the same time, to be introduced to artists and their work. It was a time when involvement in the arts was a part of everyday life.

Today, most of us are accustomed to concerts where the performer is inaccessible, so the experience of a private concert in an intimate setting provides a refreshing contrast. House Concerts are unique events. The audience is close enough to see the details of the artist’s performance – the nuances of a facial expression – or hear the artist’s fingers attack the strings before they hear the sound of the notes. Not only can the guests see the performance better, they also have multiple opportunities to meet and mingle with the performer.

House Concerts are a tangible way in which you can support the arts in the community. House Concerts also give independent artists the opportunity to build grass-roots audiences. By supporting a House Concert, you are making a significant contribution to an artist’s career.

You don't have to dress formally or pay huge ticket prices. Simply enjoy the artistry of a new talent in a home setting.
