Community Arts
ACHF Arts Access
We will judge the success of this project by measuring whether we achieved the artistic, attendance, performance and experiential goals that we set forth. These would include the participation of between 20 and 25 young women; the performance of at least three quality concerts; the building of community among the singers and directors; and the gaining of knowledge about vocal and musical technique on the part of the artists and audience. We plan to collect feedback from the audience and participants through a survey at the end of the program to gauge audience and artists' experiences and to collect information about which communities audience members came from and how they learned about us. We will conduct an after-performance discussion to give audience members, singers and directors a chance to share immediate responses, which would also give the young women choir members another opportunity to express and expand on their experiences.
Our project brought music out into the community at three different locations, exposing 130 audience members to choral music by 8 contemporary composers living in their community. We reached audience members from more than twenty Twin Cities neighborhoods. Audience surveys showed that 92% of respondents were exposed to styles of music they had not heard before.
