Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Linden Hills Chamber Orchestra strives to program a repertoire of musical masterpieces attractive to diverse audiences and loyal Linden Hills Chamber Orchestra supporters, while at the same time, stimulating Linden Hills Chamber Orchestra musicians to grow technically and artistically. We plan to present a series of programs, several featuring collaborations with musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra, featuring accessible classical music that will please and enlighten our audiences and challenge our musicians.We evaluate our project outcomes in a number of ways: through audience feedback at our post-concert receptions, player feedback, board discussion, and an individual performance evaluation by each player using the concert recording which is supplied to all participants. We also count attendance numbers and are planning a more extensive audience survey in our 2014-15 season.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The Linden Hills Chamber Orchestra was able to provide another excellent year of accessible classical music to over one thousand people in our community via four formal performances and three community outreach concerts.
