Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Performance of two full concerts and three outreach events: February 22, 2015: Jewish World Music; June 7, 2015: Poetry in Jewish Song; Details specified in grant application.Project evaluation will be accomplished in part via feedback at post-concert receptions, post-concert debriefings with Advisory Board members, and review of concert recordings. Audience size and ticket receipts will be considered. The success of outreach events will be measured by immediate audience feedback and whether invitations are renewed for coming seasons. The success of the Chorale’s and its members’ individual artistic growth will be measured by members’ feedback during the season, reactions to recordings (posted on YouTube with links available from the Twin Cities Jewish Chorale website), and responses to our third end-of-the-season member survey.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The collaboration with Mount Zion Temple in St Paul reached St Paul Jewish community members who have not attended Twin Cities Jewish Chorale concerts in the Minneapolis area. That concert added music from eight additional countries to Twin Cities Jewish Chorale's repertoire. The program at the Minneapolis Talmud Torah School was a successful first performance specifically for young people. The coming season will continue that outreach.
