The immediacy of live performance brings classical music to vibrant life for adults and children while it bolsters music education programs in area schools.Chamber music performances would engage and inspire listeners of all ages. The intimate nature of smaller ensembles draws listeners in and highlights the virtuosity of the musicians.Appreciation of local talent - Many of our string players commute to Fargo-Moorhead from lakes-area communities (Fergus Falls, Frazee, Vergas), and people in those towns will enjoy seeing their neighbors performing in a professional ensemble.An opportunity for extra services - In many of the break-out formats featuring smaller ensemble programming during the day, communities would benefit from having a variety of musical performances in various venues, followed by a full, formal concert at night.","A summary of survey results is below:Please rate the quality of this program:  Using 1-5 scale, with 5 being excellent and 1 being poor. Not rated ~ (2), 1~ (0), 2 ~ (0), 3 ~ (1), 4 ~ (11), 5 ~ (168), Average (4.87) What did you like best about the program?Concert music - not something we hear in Ada everyday!Friendly presentationThird songAll/Everything (26)Wonderful musicians & personality of speakerTalent of players (2)It was great; hope you have them againThe music program they selected for the settingGreat harmonyMost relaxing & beautiful (20)Just sounded really good!Exposure to strings; gentleness of the music - yet vibrant (2)The choice of program - for quartet; I love the viola in the Smetana renditionThe musicians were really all into it!It was locally & some variety, the atmosphere was comfortableBeautiful harmonyI really enjoyed the 3rdpresentation!!All were great.

"ABC Watonwan County - 2011","","","2013-05-03 14:16","This community project creates an ABC book for Watonwan County. The inspiration for this book comes from ABC NYC, which uses photographs of New York City as well as type from signs in the City to create a unique book that helps kids learn how to identify their letters and see their community in a new way. Our books will highlight what is special about our county---historically, socially, artistically, etc.---while engaging local photographers, writers and community members to celebrate the county and create a beautiful book. The watonwan County Historical SOciety and the Watonwan County Library will work together to select photographers and writers from the area to submit their work for inclusion in the book. Writers will be given letter assignments and go through a mentoring session by Watonwan County librarians. Once 26 letters have been chosen and written, the photographers will be given photograpy assignments and go through a mentoring session with Doug Ohman to help them produce quality photographs for the project. Once the photographs have been taken, the writers will be asked back to see if they want to make changes based on the photographs chosen. Final photograph and letter writing will be selected by Watonwan County Library and Watonwan County Historical Society staff. Book layout will be set by a Watonwan County Library staff member. Once the book is published the Library and Historical Society will hold a program/press conference with all of the contributers to unveil the work and discuss the process of putting the book together. We will also incorporate the book into story times at the Watonwan County Libraries. The book will be given out for free at the story times and be made available for sale at the libraries and Historical Society after the events and included in the library collection for checkout at the libraries. ","","Event Date:  6/14, 6/20, 6/29, 6/15, 6/20Locations:  St James Library, Darfur Branch Library, Lewisville Branch Library , Madelia Branch Library, Butterfield Branch LibraryAttendance at each individual event:  St James Library - 126, Darfur Branch Library - 39, Lewisville Branch Library - 35, Madelia Branch Library - 37, Butterfield Branch Library - 47Partner Organization(s):  Watonwan County Historical Society, Dough Ohman, Friends of the St James, Madelia Libraries, Local photographers and writersPartner Organization(s) Contribution/Role in the Program:  Watonwan County Historical Society - co-produce project, Dough Ohman - mentor photographers, Friends of the St James, Madelia Libraries - refreshments, Local photographers and writers - combine talents to produce bookIn-Kind Support: $510.00Program Outputs: Promotional activities really spread awareness of this event:","Measurable Outcomes may be collected by survey, anecdotal responses, pre-test/post-test, observations; Describe proposed end user change in Behavior, Attitude, Skills, Knowledge, Condition and/or Status.Local photographers and writers will experience the joys of creating a children's book,will learn more about hot to photograph, write and create a book. Participants will celebrate, learn more about and be able to identify uniqueness of Watonwan County. Children will identify letters after reading the book, which is a critical early literacy skill.","See attachment below in Details/Reports:","","","2011","$5785","","","Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund","Completed","","ABC Watonwan County - 2011","","","","","","","","","","","Education/Outreach/Engagement, Grants/Contracts","","","Watonwan","",""
