Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, athletes will experience increased awareness of the similarities of athletic training/competition and music practice/performance, realize one can participate in both athletics and music, and be inspired to attend additional live music performances through a pre-concert talk by guest artist Anthony Arnone comparing athleticism and musicianship followed by a concert featuring Mr. Arnone performing Dvorak’s Cello Concerto in B minor with the Bemidji Symphony Orchestra. Linda Wolf, BSO chair-elect and chair of the grants writing committee, will develop the survey to measure our proposed outcomes and ensure that enough copies of it are available for the event.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, local athletes experienced an increase in knowledge of how arts and athletics can enhance one another in their lives through hearing the real life experience of Dr. Arnone, professional cellist and marathoner. Additionally, they experienced an increase in awareness of local arts through exposure to the symphony's publicity materials.
