Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

MPLS (imPulse) will create a meaningful and community driven experience for our 24-voice ensemble thought the presentation of two thematic choral programs in the Twin Cities in diverse, non-traditional performing venues for over 350 enthusiastic audience members. MPLS (imPulse) will evaluate its outcome of audience participation through ticket sales and emailed audience surveys following each performance. MPLS (imPulse) will also conduct artist surveys at the end of the season to assess the artists' perception of artistic quality to help inform future planning.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Minneapolis (imPulse) successfully presented two 90-minute thematic choral programs in the Twin Cities in diverse, non-traditional performance venues. The January performance saw 225 audience participants and the spring performance saw 150 audience participants. Over 30 percent of total surveyed audience members indicated that this was their first time hearing our ensemble.
