Arts Activities Support

Quantitative: More than 60 members of Minhua Chorus and estimated 70 members of other art organizations will participate in this project. This includes 15 professional musicians, dancers, and choreographers. The core audience composed of local ethnic Chinese, students learning Chinese, and Americans who are interested in Chinese culture and arts. We estimate that around 1,500 spectators will come to listen to the concert. Qualitative: We will intensively rehearse twice a week and many amateur singers and dancers are motivated to take classes or private lessons from professional artists. Such a strong commitment to quality will drive the choir member to significantly improve their singing skills. We are planning to compose new music and choreograph as well as rework on some existing music. The audience will have a good opportunity to listen to both classic music and innovative arts work.Artistic success will be measured based on ticket sales, concert experience, perceived audience response to the performance, and reviews of video recordings. Members of the Chorus will be polled for feedback. Audiences will be given evaluation forms to fill in and asked to provide feedback through a survey on Minhua Chorus’s website. The Board of Administration will review all the quantitative and qualitative assessment results for the concert, create a report to the members and artists, and provide advice and suggestions on future concerts and the development of the Chorus.
