ACHF Arts Access
This project's goals are incorporated into our mission statement, to provide an opportunity for singers in the Lincoln County, Minnesota, area to practice and perform challenging choral music. A secondary goal is for the chorale to attempt genres that are new to them or at least situations--such as different venues--that are new. Our concrete goal is to maintain chorale numbers at 30 or more and to maintain audience numbers at 150 or more. At our last concert, we initiated the use of a professional musician from outside the community to write an evaluation of our performance. Her critique was very useful and we plan to use this form of evaluation again. Our chorale and audience numbers are easily quantifiable.
Our goal for chorale membership is 30, and we far exceeded that with 43 and 44 members, respectively, at our spring and fall concerts. We did not quite meet our attendance goal of 150 paid attendance at each concert; we had only 140 paid attendees at the spring concert and 147 at the fall concert.
