Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

In the 32 performances during this contract period Aug 1-Dec. 21, 2018, we will involve up to 47 artists (singers/director/accompanist) to reach 900 seniors with musical programs in the metro area. We desire to show that 75% of audiences express favorable response to both quality and interest of program, and a survey of the artists will show at least 50% satisfaction with music choice and their personal musical growth though these programs. Estimated counts of the number of people in our audiences will be kept during the contract period and any comments heard both from those in charge and the audience listeners will be noted, and when possible produced by hard copy. We keep records of individual artist's participation and will survey them after the contract period to record their satisfaction of music choice and personal musical growth through these programs.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Singers surveyed the audience and heard after each performance, comments such as: "the singers really enjoyed singing for us," "this was one of the best programs we've heard here yet!" and "We love the musical arrangements." A survey of the singers brought these results: 90% liked the choice of music sung during this period and nearly 100% felt they had grown musically during this project period.
