Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Long Prairie Chamber Orchestra will present an engaging musical experience through showcasing our local musician talent in a soloist role. Long Prairie Chamber OrchestraO will attract 20 costumed young persons to the performance for the spooky celebration that is part of this October 29 concert. Long Prairie Chamber Orchestra will raise $1000 specifically for this concert from local businesses and individuals. We are continuing to explore ways to broaden funding in an area with notable economic challenges, one of the poorest counties in the state of Minnesota. Long Prairie Chamber Orchestra will use audience feedback through both the written concert survey and word of mouth to evaluate success as an engaging musical experience. Long Prairie Chamber Orchestra will attract 20 costumed young persons to the performance for the spooky celebration that is part of this October 29 concert (spooky Halloween theme). We will track concert specific donations and discuss our successes and failures in securing local funding for this project.
