Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I will record my first CD and have it distributed and released by either Innova or Indigenous Treasures. The CD will be produced and a distribution and release plan will be implemented. 2: A Twin Cities performance of the pieces on the CD will feature world-class performers of Chinese instruments and the string quartet Leven. The concert will take place and be attended by Minnesotans from a broad range of backgrounds and locales.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I was able to take my composing career to the next level by producing my first CD and composing, recording and presenting performances of works that will be featured on the CD. 2: I acquired the necessary business skills to develop a marketing plan that will supplement (but not duplicate) that planned by the recording company. I also was responsible for all scheduling of the recording and securing the musicians, as well as coordinating the performances.
