Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

At the formal concert and outreach activities performed by WindSync, several hundred people will have experienced a valuable and engaging live performance of a wide array of classical music from well-known classics to new music incorporating elements of theater. At the outreach activities, school students and senior citizens will have heard an exciting and entertaining young quintet perform and discuss their music and the instruments they play.; At the formal concert and outreach activities, the audience members will have experienced a valuable and engaging live performance of chamber music of the highest quality, performed by the vibrant wind quintet WindSync. Audience members will hear a wide array of classical masterworks and works rarely performed or new to them, and the experience will meet or exceed their expectations. At outreach activities, students and senior citizens will have a chance to hear, learn from, and meet this ensemble. If the Minnesota Public Radio recording of the concert is aired at a later time, that will generate additional public awareness and add a state-wide audience for the Chamber Music Society and the performers. Evaluation will be based on concert and outreach activity attendance and responses from attendees, performers, staff and board members. We will distribute and collect surveys and incorporate feedback from audience members following the performance.
