Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

One Voice Mixed Chorus will tour to Saint Joseph, Morris, and Saint Cloud with collaborative rehearsals, visual art, and shared choral performance. This outcome will be evaluated by tracking the number of performances and audience members served in addition to audience surveys, and presenting partner feedback.

Measurable Outcome(s)

One Voice was not able to tour due to the pandemic but instead created a podcast involving original tour partners and engaging regional communities. One Voice tracked listenership to the podcast and successfully build new audiences in the regions the tour was intended for. Over 5,000 listeners tuned in across the state. One Voice also solicited listener feedback through surveys.
