The Oratorio Society of Minnesota's goal is to place an auditioned 90 voice, volunteer chorus and the Prior Lake High School choir on stage at the Ordway Concert Hall on November 10, 1017, singing with an organ and professional orchestra of 20 Twin Cities area musicians to an audience of 700 who enjoy large choral works that tell a story. Additionally, in order to increase our audience range and reach, Oratorio Society of Minnesota's artistic director and conductor will begin the concert with a question to the audience for a show of hands of first time Oratorio Society of Minnesota concert goers, with our expectation that at least 30% will respond as first timers. Oratorio Society of Minnesota will track the artist/participant/audience counts. In addition to the concert survey of first time Oratorio Society of Minnesota patrons, Oratorio Society of Minnesota uses SurveyMonkey after each performance to receive feedback from the performers, as well as encouraging performance reactions from performers and audience members alike on the Oratorio Society of Minnesota Facebook page, all of which have been and will continue to be used to increase attendance, better performances, and widen the community awareness of Oratorio Society of Minnesota for upcoming concerts.
88 OSM singers, 81 Prior Lake singers, 24 professional musicians, and an organist performed to 900 paid and complementary ticket patrons. Many, many positive feedback comments were received from "life changing" to "I just closed my eyes and let the music wash over me". The excitement of the Prior Lake singers was palpable and they did a great job as evidenced by !00% OSM positive responses.
