Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope for and will work to achieve a concert attendance of 350-450 people of various ages and backgrounds at both concerts (with a specific focus on growing the attendance at the 3/3 concert at Bethel due to the venue size), and enjoyment of the performance by both audience members and musicians. We also strive for the orchestra members and guest soloists to feel challenged musically and uplifted by both the music and audience participation. There will be a written survey presented to audience members and collected at both concerts to measure attendance, demographics, and audience reaction to the musical selections and performance by orchestra members and soloists. The board members will circulate during intermission and post-concert at each concert to gather verbal feedback from both audience and musicians. A digital survey will also go out to the musicians after the final concert to collect their feedback on the two concerts.
