Greater Minnesota Summer Family Pops Concerts
Following is a selective summary of participant outcomes: One man commented that he was so grateful that the library had brought the concert to the community. He stated it was an excellent performance and that he very much hopes they will perform here again. Several others commented that the performance was wonderful and that they hope the library will bring them (the Sinfonia) back and advertise more extensively, as well as schedule for a weekend that isn't as busy for many people. A woman wrote a letter of support for bringing the Sinfonia to the community: "Thank you for sponsoring the Sinfonia…What a great professional performance! We are retired and it was so nice to be able to attend such a concert so close to home."
Pioneerland Library System and Plum Creek Library System and Partners: Four (4) PLS libraries participated in this legacy project by providing space, promoting and hosting the events. These libraries were Canby Public Library, Granite Falls Public Library, Willmar Public Library, and Litchfield Public Library. Other partners were PCLS and PLS's regional director and administrative staff, the Minnesota Arts Board, and the Red Wing Arts Association, Canby High School, YME High School, Willmar Education & Arts Center, Dassel/Cokato Performing Arts Center, and the Minnesota Sinfonia.
