Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Number of people participating in the Singers. Audiences reached both in quantity and in diversity. Participants will be counted and surveyed. Responses from Singers will be solicited twice during the season.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We performed 8 times in 8 months of rehearsals, in places as diverse as North Minneapolis, the Weisman Museum, Cedar Riverside and Orchestra Hall. Our performances were seen by approximately 800 audience members. 98% of the singers participating in these performances indicated that they 'were looking forward to the next chance to perform'.
