Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Increase access, awareness and appreciation of orchestral music by providing community concerts that feature classical holiday music. The concert series will be evaluated by audience attendance and their reaction to the chosen repertoire. Heartland Symphony Orchestra also videotapes performances for re-broadcasting and evaluation purposes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Successfully provided a high quality orchestral experience for community who indicated an overall positive experience. Audience numbers decreased over previous performances due to inclement weather.
