Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will evaluate the concerts by measuring the total number of people attending the public concerts as well as the community concerts. Forty people are expected attend the Studio Z concert and 100 are expected to attend the Weisman concert. Our contacts for the community concerts are not sure what to expect since this is our first performance for them. We will evaluate the success of the project by audience satisfaction and by the number of new listeners attending each concert. We will evaluate the success of our project with an audience survey which will provide information about concert attendance, audience satisfaction and new audience members, as well as personal/verbal feedback from audience members at all four concerts.

Measurable Outcome(s)

159 people attended the four performances. Of those completing response surveys 39% were first time listeners and all respondents commented on the high quality of the performance and several commented one the great variety of the program as well.
