Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
I will perform my music with several Minnesota artists in five distinct Minnesota communities for audiences unfamiliar with my music. I will both speak with and survey the audiences after the performances.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The vast majority of audience members had never heard my music prior to the performance they attended. During post-concert interactions with the audience, I discovered the most had no idea what to expect or what they would hear, and many of them were pleasantly surprised with their experience. This applies to many of the guest soloists I worked with, as well.
