Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

90% of participants will indicate that through the Valley Chamber Chorale's diverse programming singer’s strengths are harnessed and thus growth is enhanced as they approach, learn and master well-known and new styles of music. 90% of surveyed participants and patrons will report that each concert engaged and challenged them on a personal, intellectual and collective level. Project success will be measured according to the following criteria: the number of audience numbers served, the Valley Chamber Chorale members’ and patrons' reflections and surveys, and quantity and quality of audience feedback.

Measurable Outcome(s)

106 vouchers (free tickets to encourage new and diverse audiences) were used for admission into the concerts. This is a 24 percent increase in the use of vouchers, showing that the VCC is positively addressing financial barriers and creating access to our concerts! Best patron comment: "Never NEVER have we been so moved as by your group singing Requiem For The Living! Thank you thank you!"
