Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Total audience at the four concerts is expected to be at least 600, with at least 50 first time attendees. The total audience at the community festival Aradhana is expected to be at least 200, with at least 25 participants in individual and group performances. Following each concert, the Executive Committee will review the audience size, artistic success, revenue generated and the overall success of the concerts. This information will be collated, summarized and analyzed by the secretary and PR officers of the Executive Committee and will include audience participation and count, audience surveys and post-performance oral feedback from artists and Executive Committee members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In 2019, IMSOM averaged 170 attendees per event with the ?Confluence' and ?Heartbeat' concerts attracting the larger, and more diverse, audience. We made inroads into a previously uninitiated African American demographic and expanded our volunteer base. The 2019 season also evoked renewed interest in workshops, and in tabla and mridangam lessons, from teachers within the local community.
