Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
This grant will allow access to the arts for more Minnesotans by providing a professional level performing venue for skilled choral musicians. It provides me funds to overcome the expense of having my choral music performed by qualified musicians. Methods include: 1) Written feedback from audience members and participating musicians, 2) evaluation of the recordings of the concert, 3) feedback from publishing companies to whom recordings and copies of compositions will be sent.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Outcomes are tangible recordings of public performances of my music for potential publication and for future performances by regional and university choral ensembles.
