Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To provide access to live performances of world-class music to the Twin Cities community. With affordable concerts in convenient venues, free family education and outreach activities, diverse programming, and a variety of digital media efforts, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra Society has been able to dramatically expand its reach into the community and uphold its commitment to accessibility.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In the 2012-13 season, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra Society continued to break down barriers to accessibility by offering concerts at ten venues throughout the Twin Cities metro. Adult tickets are just $10, $25, or $40, and children's tickets are $5. The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra Society's groundbreaking new Membership initiative allows patrons to attend unlimited concerts for just $5 per month. The free club2030 program offers more than 5,200 patrons in their 20s and 30s best-available seats to Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra Society concerts at Ordway Center and Ted Mann Concert Hall for just $10. In addition, our online Listening Library now offers more than 250 concert recordings for free streaming.
