Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will evaluate the concerts by counting the total number of people attending each concert. Eighty people are expected to attend the Weisman concert. We expect 40 – 80 people to attend each of the library concerts and about 50 for the concert at Becketwood. We will evaluate the success of the project by audience satisfaction and by the number of new listeners attending each concert. We will evaluate the success of our project with an audience survey which will provide information about concert attendance, audience satisfaction and new audience members, as well as personal/verbal feedback from audience members at all four concerts. We will also evaluate our performance from a musical standpoint by listening to the recording of the Weisman concert.

Measurable Outcome(s)

193 people attended these concerts. 58% of survey respondents indicated it was the first time they had attended an Ancia concert. 98% rated the concert as favorable, with the majority of those giving the experience very high marks.
