Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Edina Singing Seniors proposes to provide through this project an opportunity for 48 or more senior citizens to engage in a live musical experience as artists. They will then be able share that experience with 1500 or more seniors in their community who, due to multiple issues of aging, have limited access to a live musical experience. Written and oral evaluations are done by both venues and member artists after each performance and are crucial to our continued success. All evaluations inform us as to the artistic value and experienced success of each performance and allows us to make any necessary changes in our programs that would enhance the experience for all involved.
