360° Impact
Musical Connections is designed to have an impact on not just audiences, but everyone who participates—from the participants and staff at partner venues to roster musicians and program staff.
Engagement
All Musical Connections projects—from single performances to long-term creative projects—are designed to promote connection and musical engagement between artists and participants.
Artistic Excellence
The success of Musical Connections rests on the shoulders of a core group of professional musicians who combine spectacular artistic ability with a dedication to bringing the transformative power of music into communities in need.
Responsive Programming
Each venue has its own unique needs and goals, so the design of Musical Connections must be a collaboration between the presenting organization and the partner venues.
Musical Diversity
To be effective, Musical Connections must engage with populations of diverse ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Therefore, the artist roster must comprise diversity as well, in experiences and musical perspectives. Classically trained musicians as well as performers of world, pop, and folk are welcome.
Evaluation and Assessment
Assessment, both internally and by outside consultants, is the only way to consistently improve program quality, inform the planning of future seasons, contribute to the program's future growth, and share the work with others.
