ACHF Arts Access
Through the Hill House Chamber Players 2017-18 project "In Flanders Fields," we hope to expand the audience of music and history lovers served at four concerts in the unique venue of the James J Hill House gallery, as well as increasing the accessibility of chamber music that expresses the human experience of war by playing for the clients and residents of the Veteran's Administration in 4 performances at the VA hospital. Secondly we hope to engage younger audiences through social media. We will measure the success of our efforts in audience numbers (increasing the average from 80 to 95 per concert) and positive survey feedback at the James J Hill House and by using audience surveys as well as Facebook analytics to measure engagement with a younger audience. At the VA we will evaluate our outcome of making chamber music more accessible through audience surveys and verbal feedback from Creative Arts Therapist Kathryn Larson that measure the number of respondents who are moved by their first exposure to the music of World War I which conveys the universal human wartime experience.
Audience surveys at Hill House show 28% were new to the concerts. 78% said the music conveyed the emotional impact of the Great War. 89% felt the speakers enhanced understanding of this music. 100% of VA therapists surveyed agreed the music enriched patients' quality of life.100% of patients agreed the music expressed relevant emotions,25% of veterans surveyed were new to live classical music.
