Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, community members in East Grand Forks and the surrounding area will have access to an additional folk/cultural music performance at no cost. Evaluation will occur through a follow-up meeting with planners, counting actual audience members, and an audience questionnaire collected at the performance that asks for feedback on their experience at the event, their past or current relationship to the Greater Grand Forks Symphony Orchestra (GGFSO), and additional GGFSO programming they would like to attend.
