Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To bring traditional mastery from a world acclaimed erhu virtuoso to our targeted Asian community. To have 200 people attend the concert at Sundin Hall. Concert surveys will inform us about subjective audience evaluation, rating quality of presentation, artistic interpretation, overall enjoyment or entertainment value, selection of the music pieces, etc. Our target is to have 200 attendees at the concert.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We successfully brought traditional mastery from a famous erhu virtuoso as well as new styles of Chinese music presented by a string ensemble. 287 concert goers nearly filled Sundin Hall. From the survey and conversations after the concert, 97% wanted the musicians to return. Over 96.6% thought the musicians were highly skilled, 96.2% enjoyed the performance. 94.1% liked the selection of music
