Shared guitars at a Casa Corah Circle

Circles

When music is shared.

A Circle brings together musicians from different paths with music lovers who enjoy listening, discovering and being surprised.

Someone may bring a prepared piece; unexpected collaborations may appear; and some moments can only happen when the right people are in the same room.

To listen is to take part

You don’t need to play to belong to a Circle.

The presence of those who listen closely is as valuable as that of those who play. A special night needs both.

To listen is to take part

Freedom, with direction

Each Circle is guided musically by one person.

They shape the order of contributions, make suggestions, invite others in, and make the decisions that care for the night.

The aim is not for everyone to play at once, or in order of arrival. It is to listen for what the music needs.

Freedom, with direction

One tribe invites another

If you know a musician you admire, or a music lover who would cherish this, invite them.

We trust your sensibility to bring people who give something, musically and humanly.

We only ask that every guest confirms they are coming: places are limited, and we like to know who is stepping into our home.

We don’t come here to show how much we know, but to share how much we love music.

Circles are organised privately, by invitation and with prior confirmation. They are not announced in Casa Corah’s public schedule.

Circles · Our agreements

So that the music flows and we all enjoy the night, we share a few simple agreements.

The music

01

We honour the direction.

The person leading the Circle shapes the order of contributions. They may suggest changes, ask us to lower the volume, or to leave room for another musician. Their decisions are respected.

02

We come prepared.

If you would like to share a song, bring a clear idea. Participation is arranged during the night and is not guaranteed simply by attending.

03

We listen before we join in.

Every instrument and every voice should add to what is already happening. We accompany with sensitivity, especially on percussion.

04

We leave the ego at the door.

We are not here to compete or to prove anything. We are here to serve the music.

Living together

05

While the music plays, we stay quiet.

If you wish to talk, do so in the kitchen, with the door closed and a lowered voice.

06

We respect our neighbours’ rest.

We come and go quietly through the entrance, the stairs and the street.

07

We look after our shared presence.

Drug use and taking part while intoxicated are not permitted.

Our space

08

We help one another.

If you see something that needs doing, take the initiative. There is no need to ask the host about everything.

09

We share the table.

Bring something to nibble for yourself and for others, as well as whatever you would like to drink.

10

We leave everything ready.

At the end we tidy, clean, and help by taking some rubbish with us.

Hours: Circles that follow a Session run from midnight to 3:30 am. Other Circles are agreed with each group.

Thank you for caring for what we are building together.
