Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our Quantitative Outcome is to involve 50 singers, 30 professional instrumentalists and have 600 audience members in attendance at two concerts. Our Qualitative outcomes is to have 80% of the singers and the one conductor feel they have reached our goal of artistic satisfaction. Counts of singers, instrumentalists and audience members will be made. A post-concert survey will be given to all singers and the conductor to receive feedback. The survey results will be share with the Singers in Accord board of directors.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In our post-concert discussion, our 48 singers commented on how challenging the program was and the extra preparation time required. Even so,100% indicated we met our goals for artistic satisfaction. The conductor did as well and asked to collaborate with SIA again. While our audience size of 308 was lower than our goal it is slightly larger than our typical audience size.
