A community choir and three high school choirs sing about unity, love, and the hope for resolution of the cultural divisiveness in Central Minnesota. The success of this concert will be evaluated by the number of tickets sold, responses to surveys from members of the three participating high school choirs, Great River Chorale members, and the audience, and verbal feedback from all of the above.
