Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Minnesota Sinfonia’s goal and desired outcome, identified in 1989 by the Board, is to involve as many Minnesotans in Sinfonia programs as possible. Progress is measured by audience numbers, survey evaluations and by diversity of audience.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The Sinfonia achieved this outcome through a combination of concerts and school programming that reached community members of a broad range of ages and backgrounds. An evaluation of student demographics was taken from a survey of teachers and public records. Concert information was garnered through audience surveys and general observation.
