About 2200 seniors, many living with disabilities and/or limited financial means, will attend Free Concerts for Seniors in 2019. Seniors will have an enjoyable experience, and individuals and their organizations will engage with the Minneapolis Pops Orchestra and musicians in ways that are meaningful to them. Evaluation measures include survey questionnaires distributed to group leaders and seniors; attendance counts by a volunteer trained to observe audience demographics; verbal comments from seniors and group leaders; and direct observation at performances. Evaluation meetings shortly after the last concert include the Minneapolis Pops Orchestra project team and partner organizations, and may be in-person, by telephone, or by e-mail.
About 1700 seniors experienced high-quality live orchestral concerts. Survey results, group leader feedback, and applause indicated high levels of engagement. Many seniors stayed after each concert for informal conversations with musicians, making their way to the performance area and asking questions or commenting on specific pieces or instruments.
