Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

There are two Stringwood Festival Concerts, three Masterclasses, and six Young Artist Performances. The Festival concerts are a collaboration between two art forms: chamber music and theater. Stringwood outreach performances take place across the region. All performances are recorded and concerts are broadcast on Minnesota Public Radio. We use Survey Monkey for program data collection. We hold “call and response” with students and are able to gather discreet and valuable information about the success of the program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The artists experienced a sense of purpose in mentoring eager string students, the Lanesboro community welcomed the faculty and student performers warmly and you could see the great sense of accomplishment on the faces of the students as they grew individually and as team players through multiple coachings, and through their interactions with the public at masterclasses and performances.
