The project’s success will be evident in feedback from audience members (surveys and comments indicate that over 80% felt the concert experience met or exceed their expectations overall), feedback from composers (constructive comments both positive and indicating better ways to communicate the music), feedback from TCJC singers and leadership (how well rehearsals and concert experience met their expectations overall), and concert-related budget results (positive net balance). We will evaluate audience members' feedback through surveys and face-to-face conversations, TCJC singers and leadership feedback through surveys and a debriefing meeting, composers' feedback through face-to-face discussions and email exchanges, and budget results will be determined through a review of concert revenue and expenses.
TCJC gave two concert performances of choral music by Minnesota Jewish composers. The audience sizes were 25 and 80. Composers were invited, and nine of ten either attended and spoke or sent letters read at the concert. 97% of the audiences were positively affected by the concert, and 94% of the singers found preparing and performing this concert program to be enriching.
