Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To perform interesting and varied programs of chamber music at a high standard of musical excellence. To engage our audience in dialogue about the music and concert experience after each performance, by providing an intimate concert setting with verbal program notes by musicians, and reception immediately following for audience members and musicians.Evaluation meeting held for the Board and interested audience members and musicians within two weeks after each concert for the purpose of artistic and experiential evaluation. Performances are also recorded and critiqued by Board members and musicians. Audience counts at every performance; attendance and participation of audience members at post-concert receptions, dialogue with musicians (anecdotal).

Measurable Outcome(s)

450 people enjoyed a free outreach performance by three great St Croix Valley ensembles. 142 people attended two performances of Leonard Bernstein’s "Candide." Music Saint Croix’s participating artists, including vocal soloists, commented on the high quality of the performances and unusual repertoire performed. All concerts were followed by receptions where musicians and audience members could mix.
