Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We enable local performing musicians with a viable performing outlet and offer local music listeners a unique opportunity to hear their neighbors as musicians. We add to the rich cultural calendar of the Northfield area with performances of repertoire often not played by other ensembles, and promote the identification of performing spaces in the area as fine arts venues. Evaluate outreach efforts by audience survey and attendance figures; evaluate meeting musicians needs by player feedback and response to transportation carpooling, rehearsal clustering; evaluate wider audience development by response to performing at new venues/communities this season.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We intended to reach new audience members with our 35th anniversary programming, and we were very successful with the American folk and Broadway show repertoire.
