One Voice is known as a catalyst for education, authentic dialogue and challenging prejudice through artistic programming, collaborations and outreach programs. Partners in greater Minnesota report that collaborative concerts created dialogue about GLBT issues in their community. OUT in Our School evaluations from teachers indicate that partnerships have fostered classroom dialogue and challenged homophobia. Students and teachers fill out surveys before and after residencies. Singers share quotes and stories from audience members and collaborators. 2: One Voice is well recognized for its consistently strong artistic quality and innovative programming. Goals include: One Voice selected to perform for state or national arts event; one feature length article for 25th anniversary season; Minnesota Public Radio partnership expands visibility through Regional Spotlight, advertising and live interview with collaborating Minnesota composers. Evaluation includes tracking performance requests, and response from radio, print and television media.
One Voice conducted eight concerts in Greater Minnesota; and fourteen residencies or performances in schools throughout Minnesota, reaching 1,100 students. All proposed outcomes were successfully achieved during the grant period. One Voice was selected to perform at two Twin Cities conferences and one in Ireland; and featured in Chorus America’s newsletter, KFAI radio and the Minnesota Public Radio Regional Spotlight.
