Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Outreach to potential new project partners in Saint Paul for Cerenity performance; nurture ongoing partnerships in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. Evaluation meetings after completion of project, including Orchestra Manager, volunteer coordinator, and representatives of all partnering organizations; survey questionnaires distributed at performances; attendance counts. 2: Three real barriers to participation: economic access, physical access, and transportation. Free concerts, accessible venues, transportation provided. Feedback from senior activity leaders, project partners, and attendees, discussed at evaluation meetings; comments on survey questionnaires; observation of transportation at concert sites; audience attendance counts and direct observation.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Nurturing ongoing partnerships very successful; outreach to new partners in Saint Paul less successful, smaller audience than anticipated. 2: All identified barriers successfully addressed. Transportation provided, concert free of charge, physical access facilitated by site selection, ADA access, and other means.
