More than 150 individuals will attend the performance and at least 18 musicians will participate across two performances. 50% of audience members will report this was their first exposure to the influence of Italian baroque music on the Reformation, and 33% of audience members will report this was their first experience with Baroque music. Audience size will be measured by a count (conducted through Eventbrite and an onsite box office), and audience exposure to Baroque music will be measured by an audience survey (conducted via post-concert handouts and/or email). Musicians will be surveyed, as well, for their insights and ideas on how to improve both the artist experience and the audience experience.
Approximately 300 individuals attended three performances. Except for one prior opera production, this count is higher than any other single program over Consortium Carissimi's first 10 years. ~ 50% of the tickets were purchased online through the organization's web site. Feedback from audience members, verbally and by email, also including Terry Blain review, was positive and complimentary.
