Operating Support
ACHF Arts Access
Provide opportunities for 170+ boys of all abilities to learn and perform classic and contemporary choral works through participation in the MNBC. 1) Number of boys served as members; 2) Number of participants in `Sing Minnesota` summer arts experience; 3) Qualitative assessment of the Boychoir experience through member feedback and evaluations. 2: Perform free community concerts each year, including school venues whose populations would otherwise have access to live concert experiences. We will measure this outcome by performing at least four free community concerts; touring to schools; and recording audience numbers attending per venue. We will also assess audiences' concert experience.
The Minnesota Boychoir provided direct arts experiences to 165 boys (26 new members); reached over 230,000 Minnesotans and 78 Sing Minnesota participants. Data is captured per membership and audiences reached. Boys and audience members provided feedback regarding their arts experiences through evaluations conducted at retreats, concerts, and the Sing Minnesota summer arts experience. 2: The Minnesota Boychoir performed eleven free full and pop-up community concerts reaching over 5,000, and performed at ten metro area schools reaching 2,400 students. On site evaluations were conducted at several concert venues; feedback was also solicited and received via Facebook, the Boychoir website, blogs and several other electronic communication vehicles.
