Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

350-400 people will enjoy the free collaborative performance at Trinity Lutheran Church, including 40% who have never heard a performance by Music Saint Croix. At least 75% of the audience at each “Festa Italiano!” concert will engage with musicians afterwards. Audience counts and ticket sales will indicate attendance; applause, audience comments, and online feedback will indicate enjoyment and engagement. Age, disability and ethnic diversity will be measured by audience observation, taken by board members. Post-performance feedback at receptions will be the primary indicator of engagement with musicians.

Measurable Outcome(s)

About 575 people attended three concerts by MSC, including one sold-out performance. Audience comments indicated that people attending really enjoyed the high quality of these performances, as well as the verbal program notes from the stage given by MSC's musicians.
