Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
At least 400 people attend the four Young People's Concerts, at least 25% of whom are children. At least 95% of survey respondents have positive impressions of the concerts. A member of the project advisory committee will take a rough count of participants at each concert. Audience surveys will be included in the concert programs.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We exceeded our expectations for attendance at the concerts, with nearly 500 attending the 4 concerts. About one-third of our audience is children, which is our target goal. Over 250 attended the concert at the Arboretum, with other venues drawing of 75-100. Survey results were very positive, although several noted that one composition was too long and a poor fit for this type of concert.
