The goal of the project is to present a concert that is entertaining for audiences while helping its members develop as musicians. Outcome 1: Mesabi Symphony Orchestra musicians will develop and practice their skills in accompanying a soloist. Outcome 2: Mesabi Symphony Orchestra will expand its audience by featuring a soloist who attracts a broad audience. The first outcome will be evaluated subjectively by the artistic director, concertmaster, and the board, who will review concert results and assess whether the outcome has been achieved. The second outcome will be evaluated by observing audience size. The outcome will be met if total audience exceeds 150 per performance, or 300 in total.

The second outcome was evaluated by observing audience size. The outcome was met because total audience exceeded 150 per performance, or 300 in total. In addition, MSO conducted audience surveys at both venues and learned that the soloist was a draw for many people.
