One Voice toured to Ely, Mountain Iron, and Duluth to perform movements from a new work based on the life of gay civil rights activist Bayard Rustin. We visited with audience members about their concert-going experience during receptions at each concert and based on their comments, the project achieved the proposed outcome of touring the organization to new areas we hadn't previously visited. The majority of the audience had heard of us, but hadn’t heard us until we toured to these areas. Audience members in the communities that we visited would welcome a return engagement. 2: Communities had access to artistically excellent LGBTA choral performances and residency activities. We visited with audience members about their concert-going experience during receptions at each concert and based on their comments, the project achieved the proposed outcome of more Minnesotans having increased access to high quality arts opportunities. I was transfixed by your performance. The message couldn’t have come at a better time, reminding us not only of our struggles but also our joy! Per a Duluth audience member.
