Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, East Grand Forks Concert Choir members will develop their artistic and emotional skills by working directly with a composer to rehearse and perform an original piece of music. Evaluation will occur through a follow-up meeting with planners, counting actual audience members, and a student participant questionnaire given following the final performance of the original work that asks them to describe the growth of their musical skills and knowledge during the rehearsal process and their emotional reaction to performing it.
