Our long-range goal is to build on our mission "to inspire lives and create community by offering exceptional live performance and artistic diversity, engaging all ages with opportunities to experience, learn, and participate… for the love of music." Our short-range goal for the project is to share with our community the gifts of healing and compassion that Samite offers, along with his stunning musical talents. Success will look like an auditorium, classroom, and community room full of artistically and emotionally riveted and inspired people. We hope to see at least 80 attendees at the "Resilience" performance, and twenty or more at the talk and social hour. Evaluation will include attendee counts, assessment of post-event feedback, both verbal and written (surveys, comments via social media, e-mail, letter). 80 or more performance tickets sold, twenty or more attendees at the talk and social hour, and survey consensuses of high satisfaction at each event will be the marks of a successful project. The North Shore Music Association director will present numbers and feedback to the Board for evaluation and discussion at our November meeting. We will use this information to design future programming that effectively meets the expectations and needs of our audiences.
