Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

An average of twenty listeners will participate in each of twelve Lowertown Listening Session events; 90% of those participants will demonstrate an increase in their knowledge of and appreciation for newly created music. Participating artists (95%) will report that performances were of high quality and discussion content increased understanding of that work. Zeitgeist will use attendance tracking, observation by staff, listener and artist interviews and written reflections to evaluate achievement of outcomes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

96% of participants who submitted surveys report that their Lowertown Listening Session experience was enjoyable and informative. 100% of participating artists creating new work reported that the sessions were helpful to their process.
