ACHF Arts Access
For likely the first time ever, residents of the Twin Cities and Rochester will engage with live Cameroonian music, learning about Cameroonian culture. Outcome will be determined by audience turnout and participation, as well as data from online and live listens to radio interviews and post-show broadcasts, and via in-person and e-mailed post-show surveys.
For the first time ever, Twin Cities residents engaged with French singer/pianist Jeanne Cherhal, and celebrated classic French cinema through song. Never before had Cherhal performed in the US. Attendee comments were noted post-show. Attendees either revisited or discovered French cinematic classics through the song- typically depending on if the attendee was a native French-speaker or not.
