Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

95% of the audience indicated enjoyment and personal benefit from attending the concerts. 30% of the audience actively engaged in hands-on activities or conversation with performers about the concert or handbells in general. Surveys from each senior living facility. Post-performance feedback from audience members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

After providing the pre-recorded concerts to the senior living facilities, we conducted a post-concert survey with the facility activities directors. Through these surveys, we learned that 100% of residents indicated enjoyment of our concerts. 0% were able to engage in hands-on activities, since we were unable to perform the concerts in person.
