BE ONE OF THE HUNDREDS OF PIANO CITY® ALUMNI


Maryam Farshadfar / House Concert in Palo Alto

House concerts are at the heart of Piano City®. As a host, one of hundreds across more than ten cities worldwide, you will open your home to friends and fellow piano lovers while helping build a vibrant and intimate musical community. Many of our hosts are also performing pianists. Others are generous supporters who provide the perfect setting for these musical moments to shine.

We ask that hosts provide a clean and safe space with a well tuned piano, either grand or upright, and seating for at least 15 guests. House concerts typically last 90 minutes to two hours and always include light refreshments. What is music without a little indulgence? If you have fellow pianists who would like to share the program, even better. Repertoire is entirely up to the host pianist, though we do ask that you submit a two minute video introducing yourself and performing a short piece.

The spirit of Piano City is to immerse audiences in an environment you have created, allowing them to walk away with something new, something fresh, and something joyful.


Every host and pianist will receive a small honorarium for their participation. We will also work with you on ticketing, promotions, and logistics to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of both you and your guests.

Applications are now open for the Piano City Silicon Valley 2026 to 2027 festival, with events in August and November 2026 and February and May 2027. Please click the link below to submit your two-minute video. This is a rolling submission, so don’t worry about any deadline. Please also drop us a line to let us know you’re interested in participating in our upcoming Piano City Silicon Valley festival.
