Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

?As a result of our concert series, all audience members will gain an enhanced awareness and appreciation of the many varieties of music in our culture. In addition, place-bound seniors in our community will have better access to these concerts thereby enriching their lives. And our local students will be entertained, educated, and inspired in their own musical journeys by meeting these professional musicians. ?We have an audience survey that we distribute at each concert which is tabulated and summarized. This survey asks questions about the quality of the performance, artist interactions with the audience, whether they would recommend our concerts and how they heard about our concerts, which measures the effectiveness of our promotions. In addition, for our student outreach sessions, we will survey the students to measure what they felt they learned from the experience. For the purposes of this grant we will add this question for our regular concert audiences also.
