Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to engage 45 professional musicians in two performances that reach 400 live audience members and 300 broadcast/streaming listeners. Via an audience survey following the performances, we hope that of respondents: 90% found the performance highly inclusive and accessible, 40% of respondents will express never having heard Bach's B Minor Mass live before, and 90% plan to attend future performances. We will quantify number of tickets sold and number of viewers on our live stream broadcast. Secondly, we will send an audience survey to all ticket holders to gain insight into their experience.

Measurable Outcome(s)

55 professional musicians who call Minnesota home received contracts for a week of work. Of these 55 musicians, 62% had never had the opportunity to perform "B Minor Mass" before. 325 people attend the performances of "B Minor Mass", including twenty college-aged youth. 98% of concert goers who responded to a survey claimed that they hope to attend future performances.
