Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We plan to market our program to the local jazz community. We propose a survey to assess incremental audience reach with respect to this novel program to fuse Italian Baroque and Jazz. Our survey will elicit feedback that indicates "first time" experience of Italian Baroque and/or "first time" experience of Jazz. StoryArk will work with employment lawyer Veena Iyer to develop a number of policy pieces including accident report, anti-discrimination, code of conduct, orientation, vacation policy, waiver of liability and youth protection. Ms. Iyer will work with StoryArk's ED to develop a final draft of employment and volunteer policies and then meet with the staff and Board to explain and educate on (1) highlights of policies; (2) operationalizing policies; and (3) discuss best practices for a growing organization, including the appropriate times for reviewing policies- regular board meeting after policies finalized.

Measurable Outcome(s)

150 people attended an innovative fusion of modern and ancient instruments involving nineteen singers and players. In conceiving and delivering this program, Garrick Comeaux helped musicians and audiences understand and experience the similarities between an early baroque score and a jazz chart. Jeremy Walker described this project as "modern and timeless, evocative and surprising."
