Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To re-imagine how classical music can be presented in meaningful ways for a wide variety of audiences. This outcome will be measured by determining the total number of participants at approximately thirty community performances and activities planned with partners in Bemidji. The Orchestra will seek firsthand feedback from planning partners and audiences. 2: The Bemidji community will experience an enhanced sense of local leadership and renewed enthusiasm for creative partnerships. Through the planning process, the Orchestra and steering committee will develop specific outcomes that align with the goals of the partnership. Evaluation will be based on pre- and post-event online surveys and other feedback.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Presented classical music in 26 diverse settings, many non-traditional, to achieve depth of impact and connection to wide range of community members. 2: Local leadership by the 20-member volunteer steering committee greatly enhanced the scope and quality of the residency, exceeding expectations.
