Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Guitar Society will present eight concerts at Sundin Music Hall from October 2017-June 2018 that will be attended by 150-200 people each time. These eight concerts will include a mix of male and female artists, and will feature local, national and international performers. We will count ticket receipts for attendance, board members will be available before, at intermission and after the concert to hear feedback from audience members and artists.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Approximately 175 people attended each of 8 concerts and about 30 people attended three master classes. For us - this is evidence of support for our product. Presenting the work of Xavier Jara - the homegrown star - was an absolute delight and new artists born and raised from the Twin Cities are being nurtured and carefully supported and trained. We offered our first live-stream concert.
