Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To continue the development and financial improvement of the Bemidji Chorale which will result in the continuation of high quality chorale performances and increased attendance.Donations over the next two years will be compared to the prior two years, and we will strive to increase the Chorale’s compensation for the conductor and the accompanist based on increased revenues. Verbal comments received after the concerts from audience members will also be reported.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The Bemidji Choral increased compensation to both the conductor and the accompanist this past year, and marketing efforts were made with a new logo painted on their equipment trailer. High quality performances resulted in an invitation to sing the Verdi Requiem at Carnegie Hall in May 2015.
