Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Quantitative: The Minnesota Guitar Society will present 8 concerts at Sundin Music Hall featuring local, national and international guitarists. Audience will average 200 people per concert. We will track ticket sales and ticket revenue for each concert. Artists and audiences will give post performance feedback verbally to board members. Feedback will be used to guide our 2019-20 season offerings.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Connecting with youth at the festival, and seeing them at our concerts late, was a great inspiration, and motivated us to continue to attend and support local youth guitar events. The new music for guitar that was played was a real highlight last season. More women than ever before are playing on our concert series.
