Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1,200 people will attend 5 or more general public concerts featuring music performed by youth from diverse countries. Another 500 seniors, youth, and adults with developmental disabilities will attend 6 or more mini-concerts and workshops in Metro venues where the audiences are located. Trained staff will conduct audience counts at all concerts and other arts events. The program director will obtain post-performance feedback from arts partners concerning the demographic details of audiences and other participants.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1,550 audience members attended concerts; more than half can be categorized as marginalized and/or underserved. 100% of youth participants/performers reported that their involvement in a concert celebrating global cultures increased their confidence and improved their understanding of other cultures.
