Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Return concert attendance to pre-pandemic levels When we are able to safely return to live concerts, we will monitor attendance numbers in order to determine growth to pre-pandemic attendance and will survey participants to gauge impact of events. 2: Establish a $50,000 cash reserve fund to replace privately secured line of credit We will know that we have achieved this outcome when we are able to both begin and end the 2022 fiscal year with a balance of $50,000 in this account.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Musicians and audience returned to live concerts in a Covid-safe manner and with high artistic value. Tracked ticket sales, musician absences due to illness, and surveyed audiences about comfort level and artistic value. 2: Rochester Symphony surpassed their initial goal of creating a $50,000 internal cash reserve fund. Reviewed bank account statements at the beginning and the end of the fiscal year.
