Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our Quantitative outcome is to involve approximately 70 singers and have 600 people in attendance at two concerts. Our Qualitative outcome is to have 80% or more of the singers and conductors indicate that they feel we reached our goal of artistic satisfaction. Counts of both singers and audience will be made. A post-concert survey will be given to singers and the conductor to receive feedback. This feedback will be presented to the board of directors.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In our post concert survey and discussion most singers shared how challenging it is to go from singing choral music in the traditional method - holding music and relying primarily on the voice and face to express the meaning of the music - to performing with the entire body, as was done in this concert. Even so, 100% felt we met our goal of artistic satisfaction for this project.
