  • music as an invitation - comments on experiences of online participatory concerts (a small handbook) (2025) author(s): Késia Decoté Rodrigues published in: Research Catalogue
    This small handbook shares the learnings from participatory online concerts which were developed as part of the "music as an invitation" project. Using the two concerts developed for the "music as an invitation" project as case studies, this book presents the basic steps on putting together participatory online concerts. It also brings up some discussion about some relevant points to be observed during those steps, drawing specifically from the experience in the "music as an invitation" project. This handbook aims to contribute to other curious and adventurous artists and producers who are interested in exploring creative ways to share music with their audiences. By exploring participatory ideas in online concerts, here we thrive to do what music does best: bring people together. The "music as an invitation" project was a Marie Słodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Research developed at the University of Bergen, funded by the European Union.
