We exceeded our goal for both the number of concerts (1 proposed, 3 delivered) and the number of venues (Crooners in N. Mpls. and Mears Park in St. Paul.) with alll three concerts in person as well as livestreamed and available online to view. This brought JazzMN to established and new audiences around the state and the world. We did radio spots on FM88.5 for the Crooners concerts, as well as eblasts, but were also partners in marketing with Crooners and JazzFest. Three very different concerts were offered. The first, on June 27, 2021, featured five renowned guest artists; the second Crooners concert in August 2021 featured works by eight women composers; and the JazzFest performance on June 24, 2022, featured more modern big band music. Board members had conversations with concert-goers and staff after each program, discussed audience response with leadership, noted ticket sales/attendance and kept track of access to the streamed events.
