Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Through expanded publicity and marketing we hope to have in attendance 25% more than we did for our three similar programs last season. Through surveys and conversations we hope to learn what motivates people to come to Exultate concerts and better prepare for future projects. We will have an audience printed survey to find out information from our listeners about attendance at Exultate concerts, how they heard about the performances, what kind of music they would like to hear in the future, affect this concert had on them and if they are likely to return for another concert. We will also have a participant feedback form collected at the end of the project to learn and understand how to make future projects more enjoyable and challenging.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Response from the experience was overwhelmingly positive. They loved the program and the performance quality as well as the demonstration/lecture before the performance. They especially enjoyed the preconcert sing-a-long with members of the Festival Choir being seated in the audience. Members of the ensemble were thrilled with their involvement and wished we would have had a fourth performance.
