Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

These concert tours will focus on reaching underserved communities that rarely see live musical performances by professional touring groups. Surveys of audience members will measure the general availability of live musical performances in each community and also catalog how many are seeing the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet for the first time. 2: The Minneapolis Guitar Quartet will perform library concerts and educational workshops in sixteen Minnesota communities not previously visited. A review of the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet's performance history will confirm that sixteen of the Minnesota communities scheduled for this tour project have not been previously visited.
