Measurable Outcome(s)

In the 2011-12 season, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra continued to break down barriers to accessibility by offering more than 120 concerts in ten venues throughout the Twin Cities metro area. Adult tickets are just $10, $25 or $40 and children's tickets are $5. Additionally, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra served over 20,000 people through free education and outreach activities. The Saint Paul Chamber OrchestraÆs groundbreaking new Membership initiative allows patrons to attend unlimited concerts for just $5 per month. The free club2030 program offers over 5,200 patrons in their 20s and 30s best available seats to Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra concerts at Ordway Center and Ted Mann Concert Hall for just $10. In addition, our online Listening Library now offers more than 200 concert recordings for free streaming. With affordable concerts in convenient venues, free family education and outreach activities, diverse programming, and a variety of digital media efforts, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra has been able to dramatically expand its reach into the community and uphold its commitment to accessibility.
