Community Arts
ACHF Arts Access
Eighty-five per cent of the participating students at Lake Nokomis Community School will experience performing with an orchestra for the first time. Civic Orchestra will increase its community exposure and enrich the lives of its members by having 300 audience members participate and attend our Lake Nokomis Community School concert.To determine the outreach of our programming and our goal of increasing audience and community connections, we will have a count of the number of audience members at each of the three concerts, and the number of students participating in the Lake Nokomis Community School concert. The students, staff and musicians will be asked for feedback on the collaborative children's May 22nd concert, in a survey form for the adults and verbally for the young students.
Audience numbers for our two May concerts were between 225-300. However, the outreach was much larger due to the school's TV broadcast. Lake Harriet was about 400-500 people seated and also those in hearing range. Participant surveys gave positive feedback; for all the student participants, this was the first time performing Orff instruments or singing in a concert with stringed instruments.
