Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

All concerts and events are open to the community. Concerto competitions also raise the quality, types and number of arts opportunities in our region. Concerto soloists increase artistic excellence by working to perfect a challenging piece of music accompanied by a Southeastern Minnesota Youth Orchestra.Data collection of concerto competition participants and concert attendance will be analyzed, as well as surveys of students and parents.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Artistic excellence is demonstrated by mastery of challenging repertoire, evident by the number and difficulty of pieces, as stated in the concert program. Many students were interested in learning about fiddling, so Southeastern Minnesota Youth Orchestras formed the Southeastern Minnesota Youth Orchestras Fiddlers, who first performed at the Fall Concert.
