Northrop on Hennepin Avenue presented six companies in the 2011-12 season. We conducted outreach activities and collaborated with organizations including Downtown Business Council and City of Minneapolis to advance community involvement. Northrop Jazz: Live at the Campus Club was put on hold to ensure fiscal responsibility during the months of reconstruction and will return in 2014-15 when we return to our home space. Major Music Events on Campus presented fourteen artists and moved to a format with evening shows and larger acts. Working with University student groups, we identified and presented artists popular with younger audiences. Northrop maintains rigorous quantitative and qualitative evaluation practices to ensure high-quality programming that advances the organization while meeting the needs of the community. Quantitative data includes ticket sales, performance attendance, and outreach participation as well as website statistics, blog entries, and traffic to posted content.
