Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Encore Wind Ensemble will demonstrate to high school and college age musicians that lifelong music making at a high level is accessible. Encore will collaborate with four new guest artists, premiere a new composition, and add at least six new works to our repertoire. Encore expects to share concerts with up to 100 young musicians and perform for at least 150 young people in the audience.

Measurable Outcome(s)

This project allowed us to perform for approximately 450 people of whom 120 were under the age of 18 and 60 were college aged. Our seasons typically reach throughout the area in an attempt to bring music to people in their communities. This particular project included performances in New Brighton, Woodbury, and Wayzata in schools and a church.
