A concert facilitator may be engaged by the host to assist with organisation. Each has a participatory role to ensure that the House Concert performance is a rewarding and ongoing experience. House Concerts encompass a variety of music genres and involve musicians performing solo, in duos and trios and larger ensemble including small operatic casts. House Concerts vary from ad hoc to formal with levels of organisation ranging from casual to managed events. Musicians who participate in House Concerts may be acknowledged international performers in Australia and overseas, be starting out in a professional protean career, visiting from overseas in an arranged House Concert tour or amateur/semi professional musicians who have another career. Musicians (artistic companies) with a specific project to develop have used the House Concert concept as their choice of performance space to workshop and develop their ideas. House Concerts encourage the development of a musical community in a way that is different from the concert hall venue. This paper takes a focus on the differing perspectives ofthe host, audience and musician as they come together for a House Concert performance. Keywords: community, house concerts, participatory  \n… a grumpy looking tabby saunters in… and moves off to stalk the cheese tray.  \nThis paper continues our research interest in House Concerts – a musical performance that involves a solo or group of musicians, a host (who may also be a performer) and an invited audience. The venue may be a private home, a community centre or a local hall. It expands on Watson and Forrest (2018) where the authors addressed the value of House Concerts in a musician’s career lifespan in conjunction with the business models that have been established by concert organisers. This paper explores the participatory roles of the host, the audience and the musician – the three groups that combine to create a performance – the central feature of a House Concert. The activity may take place with or without the services ofa commercial concert facilitator who has developed a business specialising in organisation and management of House Concerts. Each group has differing  \nperspectives that combine to create a musical community that represents the House Concert movement.  \nHost  \nMotivation to host  \nThe growth of House Concerts in Australia has followed two paths. The private approach is where individuals self-host performances of a musical group, in which they play, in their own home. These are often ad hoc and immediate:“I’m having a house concert this afternoon”. The host (and one of the performers) invites known friends/ acquaintances to the event in the next hour. The other approach involves a broader community base where a host may use a membership list, a developed invitee list or use the services of a commercial concert facilitator who has developed a business specialising in organisation and management of House Concerts.  \n86 52(2)  \nHosts will promote House Concerts to provide performing opportunities for musicians resident in regional areas of Australia, outside the major capital cities, where fewer performing options are available. They organise House Concerts as fund raising events for a major charity, such as non-government organisations that do ongoing community  \nwork in Australia and overseas. A host may have contact with a major musical school and provide performing opportunities for musicians starting out on their career.
