Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Marshall, Minnesota’s community is introduced to the Bach Society of Minnesota. BSM will keep track of participant and audience numbers at events. We will monitor website traffic and additions to mailing lists. 2: A commitment to an ongoing relationship between Marshall and BSM is created. BSM will use formal and informal feedback. With help from the Marshall community we will create and administer longitudinal surveys. BSM will interview key Marshall leaders.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Marshall, Minnesota's community was introduced to the Bach Society of Minnesota, giving more Minnesotans access to high quality arts opportunities. BSM held conversations with workshop participants and determined that: 1) the project introduced BSM to Marshall in a positive way; 2) participants appreciated the opportunity to learn from BSM's Artistic Director given his international experience and positive energy; and 3) participants wished more people had participated. 2: BSM and Southwest Minnesota State University Choral Department are committed to continuing with a relationship. BSM held conversations with workshop participants as well as the Director of the Choral program at Southwest Minnesota State University and determined that there is interest in continuing a relationship between BSM and Southwest Minnesota State University.
