Community Arts Support
ACHF Arts Access
We plan a 5% increase in audience members and a 10% increase of auditions for Minnesota Center Chorale. We will participate in the annual choral festival held in Morrison County and promote at least one more learning opportunity in our concerts and shows. We will use stronger marketing methods (including paid advertising) and perform at events that will attract new audience members. We give and collect one quiz and host one pre-concert lecture to increase educational value of our concerts.
We believe that our audience numbers were maintained but did not increase. We increased audition and singer participant rates by 10% when we had 5 new singers join in the winter of 2016 and 5 in fall 2016. Minnesota Center Chorale did participate in the Morrison county choral festival held at Camp Ripley, led by Dr. Craig Jessop. We did promote educational opportunities at our concerts throughout the year. At our fall 2016 concert we had a guest speaker, Kathy Langer, who spoke about her efforts building peace in the community. In addition, we had numerous educational pieces and historical information in the concert scripts and program notes at our Postcards from Minnesota concert in February 2016.
