Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will increase our audience reach and have a 30% increase in new audience members attending the concert performances. We will commission a substantial new work for voice and guitar that is of significant quality and can be added to the ensemble's permanent repertoire. We will provide surveys to audience members at all performances. These surveys will ask if this is the first concert by The Dream Songs Project that the audience member has attended and how likely they are to attend a future performance by the ensemble. This will allow us to measure the percentage of new audience members and if they can be counted on to attend future events. The surveys will also ask the audience to evaluate the commissioned work in relation to the other pieces on the concert and provide a free-text section for additional comments on the new work. In addition to these audience surveys, the composer and performers will also be asked to evaluate the success of the commission and the quality level of the commissioned piece.
