Social Institutions
Social Institutions are Musethica’s Main Concert Halls
The concerts in social institutions represent 85 percent of Musethica’s concerts, and the Musethica Programme is already a vital part of the weekly activities of many social institutions. It has a strong and direct social impact, providing audiences with live concerts of the highest quality, and training a new generation of musicians to develop a deeper understanding of their role as musicians in society.

Musethica Concerts at Social Institutions
General Information.
• Musethica concerts last between 45 and 60 minutes.
• Musicians perform each concert with the same professionalism as they would in a traditional concert hall.
• There is no need to explain the music in advance. The music speak for itself.
• After each concert, the musicians are happy to discuss the music and the experience with the audience.
The Concert Setting.
• A stage, platform or podium is not required. Concert in smaller settings or everyday-settings (e.g. common rooms) is preferred.
• The musicians only need chairs without armrests and an audience.
• The audience should sit as close as possible to the musicians while allowing enough space for the performers to play comfortably.
The Audiences.
• No prior experience with classical music or concert attendance is required. The goal is a successful shared musical experience.
• No specific behaviour is expected from the public during the concerts.
• Reactions are welcome! While some audience members may listen attentively in silence, others may respond with noises or movements as a sign of engagement.
