Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesota residents will be moved, inspired and educated by musical artists of diverse ethnic, cultural and stylistic backgrounds. We will use online and printed surveys to determine if audience preconceptions were changed, to determine whether or not people felt inspired, moved, or entertained by the events, and to find out if publicity efforts were effective.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesota residents will be moved, inspired, and educated by musical artists of diverse ethnic, cultural, and stylistic backgrounds. Covid made our original assessment plans challenging. Thus, quantitative data was used to determine reach. 194 participants engaged in the performances, including twenty youth engaged in educational activities with world-class artists.
