Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Provide access to participation in the arts for more Minnesotans. Raise the quality, types and number of arts opportunities in our region, including an increase in the organizations or venues that offer them. Attendance at concerts, number of musicians performing in concert, survey response to change in performance venue (Paramount Theatre versus Austin High School), and repertoire.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Our goal to provide quality, live, orchestral music and an educational component to our community was met through our performance, our written program that contained background information on the music, and the guest performer, and our conductor's comments during the performance.
