1. Present unequaled and outstanding chamber music in the Alexandria and Douglas/Pope County region and to 2. Cultivate interest in the arts with culturally meaningful and interesting programs. The grant will pay a portion of the Artistic Director's salary. Our initial evaluation occurs immediately after each concert. The board directors circulate among the departing audience members and musicians to discuss the performance and to assess audience interest and reactions. Mr. Doege also meets with the musicians after each concert to get their impressions of the performance. Following the concert series, the Lakes Chamber Music Society Board meets to discuss each concert individually. We evaluate the project expenses, income, attendance, and general community and musician interest and support.
Lakes Chamber Music Society presented three evening chamber music performances in August to very appreciative and enthusiastic audiences. The 2016 Festival of the Lakes concert series included chamber music performances by professional musicians combining their talents in various ensembles to perform music by Beethoven, Vaughan Williams, Clarke, Mozart, Debussy, and other composers. The second concert featured a harp performance with a discussion time about the instrument by the artist. The concerts were well-attended. Several high school students attended as volunteer ushers.
