Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The WSO will provide four programs - averaging at least 600 audience members - of diverse music presented free of charge in Wayzata and Minneapolis. In these programs the music will reflect and celebrate the human experiences of community, inclusion, and emotional challenges as determined by audience and orchestra member comments. Ushers at each concert count audience attendees. The qualitative goals will be measured through post-performance feedback from attendees as well as orchestra members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

On average, we saw a marked increase this season in the number of patrons at our concerts. We also saw an increase of approximately 50% in our door donations compared with the previous season. At our orchestra-hosted receptions following each Wayzata concert, we noticed an increased number of audience members joining the orchestra members and guest artists for cake and coffee.
