Event passes were provided to patrons to enjoy Apollo 5. Based in London, this smooth vocal quintet was on its first major tour in the United States. The concert featured a blend of superb individual voices in a program mixed with classical, folk, and pop, all sung acapella.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The intended outcome of the event pass program is to allow the patrons to experience different genres of art, music , and theater programs and to attend different theater productions in locations they may not have been able to attend. A survey was distributed to receive feedback from those attending the program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Surveys were distributed to participants at all programs. 90% strongly agreed that this was an enjoyable experience and 92% strongly agreed that they would attend a similar event. Comments: The music was wonderful! I would never attend this event if I had not received a ticket. The group was very talented and entertaining.

Source of Additional Funds

14 libraries provided space, staff, and additional promotion for the programs and approximately 8 regional newspapers provided marketing through press releases, photos and interviews with artists and performers.
