Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants and audiences of Mankato, Marshall, and Bemidji have meaningful arts experiences at Bach Society concerts and educational activities. BSM will track audience numbers, survey audience, and interview a sample of audience members and key informants with partner institutions to determine impact of performances on audiences. 2: To deepen our relationship with Mankato and Marshall and introduce BSM to Bemidji, create opportunities for future touring. BSM will hold follow-up conversation with its hosting partners to assess strengths and growth opportunities for relationship and opportunities for future projects.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We achieved this outcome in Bemidji and Mankato; concert in Marshall was cancelled due to COVID. We had a great response from the students at Bemidji State and in Mankato - engagement with the music, conversations between the musicians and audience members after the concert. The audience was great - 150 on a Tuesday in February. 2: Achieved. After these concerts, we are already planning a return visit to both venues; Bemidji hopefully in April of 2021. Mankato venue is interested in partnering with BSM as a internship option for their students.
