These tours will reach, entertain and educate people in underserved communities that rarely see live performances by professional touring groups. Surveys of audience members will measure the availability of live musical performances in each community, ask audience members which pieces were their favorites, and catalog how many are seeing the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet for the first time. 2: Through the educational workshops, MGQ will introduce local guitar players of all levels to the challenge and fun of playing in a guitar ensemble. Post workshop surveys will measure the levels of challenge felt by workshop participants, levels of enjoyment, and whether there is a desire to continue playing guitar ensemble music in the future.
