Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Aby Wolf will tour to three greater Minnesota communities in which she has never shared her work, in each offering a week of inclusive workshops and performances. Performance and workshop attendance will be tracked through head counts and ticket sales; surveys (print and electronic), press and conversations with audiences and presenters will measure impact of activities. 2: Three greater Minnesota audiences will build awareness of a new movement of genreless classical music otherwise rarely available in their own community. Formal and informal responses from presenters and audiences will measure if the tour experience is unique in each community, and the audience’s change in awareness and knowledge.
