Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minneapolis Guitar Quartet's proposed outcomes include successfully introducing to the public two new important and unusual works for guitar quartet. Beyond the formal premieres at Sundin Hall, we will offer three less formal educational performances throughout the Twin Cities area with the goal of reaching as wide of audience as possible. Brief surveys will be distributed to audience members at all events to measure basic demographic characteristics, audience familiarity with the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet and the venue, how audience members learned about the event, and levels of enjoyment of the musical performance. The performance at Sundin Hall will be recorded on audio and video, allowing performers and composers the opportunity to further study and evaluate the project.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The most significant outcome was the successful introduction of two exciting new works for guitar quartet with flute and voice. Over 90% of the audience survey respondents enjoyed hearing both of the new works for first time and there were many comments encouraging us to continue building a new repertoire for these combinations of instruments.
