Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Total audience at the four concerts is expected to be at least 600, with at least 50 first time attendees. The total audience at the community festival Aradhana is expected to be at least 200, with at least 25 participants in individual and group performances. Following each concert, the Executive Committee will review the audience size, artistic success, revenue generated and the overall success of the concerts. This information will be collated, summarized and analyzed by the secretary and Public Relations officers of the Executive Committee and will include audience participation and count, audience surveys and post-performance oral feedback from artists and Executive Committee members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In 2018, IMSOM averaged 200 people/concert with attendance being skewed toward the instrumental duets. By the end of the season we had greatly expanded our volunteer base, due in part to our selection of artists, and in part to direct appeals to the audience. Finally, we experienced a surge in the number of individuals wanting to train in tabla, vocal and instrumental music with area teachers.
