ACHF Arts Access
To weave choral singing deeply and rewardingly into the lives of diverse Minnesotans, Minnesota Chorale will extend and deepen the Bridges community-engagement program, seeking out new touring and broadcast opportunities that will help project the power of the singing voice into every corner of our state. Success will be measured by attendance, critical review, and quality of partnerships formed. 2: To provide opportunities for enriching, multigenerational choral music-making to as many Minnesotans as possible, Minnesota Chorale will maintain total enrollment of the Minneapolis Youth Chorus and its new Prelude feeder choir at 75 or greater; provide performance/learning opportunities commensurate with members' gifts; and maintain at least two organizational partnerships to develop and nourish Voices of Experience (seniors' choir). Success is evaluated through enrollment numbers, and numbers of partnerships.
Successful touring rehearsals and performance were held in Duluth with Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra and Chorus which resulted in near-capacity crowd for performance, critical acclaim in local press, lasting relationship and prospect of future collaborations established with partner organization. Successful rehearsals and concert performances featuring youth, adult, and senior ensembles. Total enrollment exceeded 90 throughout school year. Partnership with MacPhail Center for Music was enhanced through deeper collaboration. Regular performance partnerships were established at three assisted-living facilities.
