The Exceptional Americana concert project will be carefully managed to meet the budget and to make sure the performance is well-attended with new audience members reached through our conductor's connection to the Minnesota Orchestra guest soloist and the concerto winner's circle of friends and family. The orchestra seeks to deliver a technically and artistically satisfying performance as judged by the director, orchestra members, Board of Directors, guest performers, and audience members. And lastly, Mississippi Valley Orchestra wishes that all participants are musically and spiritually inspired by the preparation and performance of this concert. The Board will be present to gather and talk with audience and orchestra members during intermission and at the conclusion of the concert about what they experienced. The results are then discussed and recorded at the next Board Meeting for future reference, in hopes of repeating the event and also to improve all future concerts.
About 250 people came to the concert, and 49 of them filled out a survey. Almost everyone surveyed thought the concert, printed program, conductor comments and location of the concert were very satisfactory. Board Members collected several quotes from audience members indicating how pleased they were with the trombone soloist and young pianist, and how nicely the music was played by the orchestra. Mississippi Valley Orchestra's president even spotted one of our local senators in the front row.
