Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Presenting regularly scheduled concerts will allow me to present my work to new audiences resulting in more musical opportunities in Minnesota. Evaluation will include the size and percentage of growth in audience numbers during the project. The change in the number of people following me on social media sites and feedback from the other artists and the audience will also used.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I feel audiences felt more comfortable with baroque music, learned about Baroque music and became interested in deeper understanding. 1) The total number of audience for each concert. 2) The number of the same audience who came to the previous concert and the new audience. 3) The degree of people's enthusiasm expressed by asking various questions on historic performance and willingness to try instruments they never tried before after each concert.
