The artistic goal is for nearly 200 performers and for 400 listeners is to experience seldom heard Finnish choral works with a symphony orchestra within the context of Finland's centennial. The quantitative goal comes through ticket sales and distribution, with 75% ticket sold and 90% distributed of the 443 concert hall capacity. The project will be evaluated with audience/participant count as well as audience/participant surveys in paper and online (chorus and orchestra musicians). The artistic leadership team will discuss the process and final concert through either formal or informal conversations.
The concert sold out about two weeks before the event. As per venue box office, the distribution was as follows: 434 tickets were distributed; 430 capacity (so additional seats were added).349 sold of which 31 were students and 54 comps (including BSO comps, Chorus comps, 20 smARTpass tickets). Some choir members even sold back their discount ticket to allow more patrons to attend.
