Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We propose that 20% of respondents will indicate that this was their first live experience with 17th century instruments and music. Furthermore, we propose that 90% of respondents will indicate that they learned something new about the historic and cultural context of this music, musical instruments, or historical performance practice. Audience surveys will be distributed along with programs and collected after each performance, providing people a chance to tell us about themselves, respond to our objectives, and make suggestions for the future.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We reached more people, and a greater diversity of people than in any previous concert. Through our outreach, we brought this music to 80+ people of Hispanic origin, over half had never experienced live baroque music previously. 75% of our audiences reported never having attended a Sospiri concert previously, 85% reported learning something new, and 25% had never experienced live baroque music.
