Community Arts Access Project

Saint Francis Music Center will host a Fiddle Festival to offer an opportunity for young central Minnesota fiddlers to perform for a large audience and receive a professional evaluation. The Fiddle Festival will celebrate the folk art of “fiddling” and expose a large audience to the joy of this music.We will evaluate the Festival by asking for oral and written feedback from the artists, the audience and the volunteers. We will meet after the Fiddle Festival with the coaches, judges, and other staff to review how the process went, and brainstorm ways to improve the Festival to make it more effective. We will measure the involvement by number of fiddlers involved and the quality of the performances.
