Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

In the course of this project, Border CrosSing will feature at least 26 professional Latinx musicians and composers. 90% of concert and community-sing attendees will report a positive experience. Artistic director Ahmed Anzaldua will identify the Latinx musicians and composers who are included in each event. Audience surveys are distributed and collected at each event, and will include the following question, with responses rated Poor, Fair, Good, Excellent: How do you rate your experience at this concert? And space will be provided for individual elaboration.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In spite of the COVID changes, we exceeded our goal of at least 26 Latinx musicians/composers at our events and featured 34 Latinx musicians/living composers. We exceeded our goal of 90% of concert and community-sing attendees would report a positive experience. Our surveys show over 98% of respondees reported our event was a "good" or "excellent" experience, with a majority reporting "excellent."
