Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Expose northeastern Minnesota audiences to new forms of chamber music performance. We will provide written evaluation forms to audience members, students, teachers, and our program partner (Sybarite5); measure attendance at activities; and gather feedback from conversations with audience members, artists, teachers and students.

Measurable Outcome(s)

MM drew an audience of 156 people for the concert and 187 music students and 17 adults for outreach events for a total of 360 students, adults and seniors for Sybarite5 events. Evaluation methods included enclosing a survey in the concert program; providing surveys to high school music teachers/orchestra conductor to distribute to students; measuring ticket sales; and talking with teachers and students.
