Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

700 children attended the Concert performed by 27 artists. Teacher surveys showed that 85% of their students said they experienced a classical music concert for the first time through this activity. The outcomes will be evaluated using visual counts of children attending verified by number of students reported by teachers, plus survey responses and feedback from teachers, staff and musicians. Adult concert attendees will be encouraged to give their feedback through online surveys, and printed surveys will be handed out to attending parents, grandparents, adults and teachers.
