Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Communities will benefit from having a string quartet perform in their hometown venue. The immediacy of live performance brings classical music to vibrant life for adults and children. Chamber music performances will engage and inspire listeners of all ages. The intimate nature of smaller ensembles draws listeners in and highlights the virtuosity of the musicians. Many of the string players commute to Fargo-Moorhead from lakes-area communities (including Frazee), and people will enjoy seeing their neighbors performing in a professional ensemble.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Selected comments from participants:
"Just wonderful classical music."
"First-hand experience of a super violinist."
"Beautiful music played by an accomplished performer."
