Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Expand audience by developing concert presentation programs for young adults (Mix and Theoroi) and daytime programs for the retired (Ordway daytime). We will track attendance, new ticket-buyers to our box office system and through post-concert online surveys. We will assess success, demographics and attitudes to the music heard at the performances. 2: Engage diverse communities by adding music programs for youth in Twin Cities community center (KidsJam) and families with autism (Azure). We will track the number of participating community centers and the number of demographic information of participating youth for KidsJam and Azure. We will review the programs annually with partner organizations.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The Schubert Club attracted a new audience of over 50%, and the youngest to date at Schubert Club Mix concerts. Comparing the Schubert Club Mix participants to past ticket buyers in all series, the results were over 50% of participants never having been to a concert in the past. The casual format attracts people not comfortable in a formal concert setting. 2: 340 youth of which 90% were of color participated in KidsJam, and 55 people had meaningful musical experiences through Azure for autism. In partnership with the partner community centers, the youth participants in KidsJam were tracked and follow-up with them occurred before each KidsJam workshop. Azure families had tickets and asked for follow-up after each experience.
