ACHF Arts Access
Achieve community-determined goals and engage at least 3,000 people in a range of tour activities that they rate as positive experiences. Track audiences/participants at performances, events, and activities; gather documentation qualitatively assessing service constituent experience; compare outcomes with community-stated goals. 2: Musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra report a positive, meaningful and artistically/professionally rewarding tour experience. Qualitative surveys and documented discussions/stories about musicians’ experience on tour, including assessment of artistic quality and interactions with those in each community.
Members of three greater Minnesota communities gained formal and informal access to Minnesota Orchestra musicians and the world-class music they create. Attendance for each community concert was determined by ticket sales. Attendance at education concerts was provided by participating teachers and orchestra staff. At each small ensemble event, Orchestra staff members were on site to document activities and count the number of participants. 2: Orchestra musicians gained skills and confidence to engage with Minnesotans who have little familiarity with, or limited access to, classical music. Orchestra staff held reflection sessions with steering committee members in each community to evaluate project participation and impact. Staff also surveyed Minnesota Orchestra musicians and event organizers to evaluate satisfaction with activity components including logistics, training and preparation, and audience participation and engagement. Finally, staff collected qualitative feedback from participants at each event.
