Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Close to 17 classical music ensembles will participate in the project. This project will reach Saint Paul Art Crawl participants exposing many people to a comprehensive view of the St Paul classical music scene. Evaluation for this project will be based on participating ensemble numbers, attendance numbers, website page views, surveys left in all venues for audiences to fill out, and comments received from participants and audience members. We do not have exact numbers we wish to see, but will look for regular attendance at all four 15 minute performances for each group in each venue as well as activity on the website before, during, and after the project has taken place.

Measurable Outcome(s)

28 groups representing the St Paul classical music scene participated in the St Paul Classical Music Art Crawl, giving 28-minute concerts 4 times at 10 locations over 8 hours. 4,500 people intentionally attended concerts, and another 5,000 wandered through.
