Abstract: The paper is concerned with music programs designed for diverse people or populations facing barriers to participation. While studies in the fields of community cultural development, community music and participatory artmaking have embraced the complex work of aligning various stakeholder interests and outcomes as part of the creative process of collaboration in such contexts, there is notably less discussion of this process through the lens of classical music community outreach and engagement. As such, this paper provides small insights into how conservatoire trained professional musicians perceive this process when employed in regional and remote touring with major performing arts companies in Australia. Particular attention is focused on activities involving collaboration with rather than performance for the communities they visit.
