Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are. Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra will present a full concert season with a variety of programming. Each subscription concert will have at least 700 patrons, and at least 100 patrons will attend the pre-concert discussion and 250 patrons will attend the post-concert reception. This outcome was evaluated using audience statistics. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. Saint Cloud Symphony Orchestra will provide educational programming for young people in our community from fourth grade to college age. At least 1,400 students will participate in Classics for Kids. We will offer the Young Performers Competition, Honors Concert, and Young Composers Competition. At least ten students will participate in each event. This outcome was evaluated using participation statistics.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The outcome was achieved. Each season subscription concert did have at least 700 patrons. Several concerts enjoyed larger audiences than 700! The pre-concert discussions have become very popular with at least 100 patrons in attendance at each event. The post-concert receptions have become a popular way for audience members and musicians to interact. More than 250 patrons participated in this event. 2: We successfully provided educational programming to our community. Classics for Kids served 1,400 students in the chamber music presentations; 1,111 in the Classics for Kids Concerts; six performers in the Honors Concert; eight participants in the Young Performers Competition; and 1participant in the Young Composer Competition.
