Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

For this current year’s concert series, our goal was to have at least 625 audience members in attendance (an average of 125 per show for a 32% increase over our 12-13 local season), and we are thrilled that our total audience has already exceeded this goal by nearly 200 people with one concert still remaining. We aim to have a similar increase (30%) for next year’s series, averaging 160 people per concert - totaling to 1,280 concert attendees; but of course, the most important goal for us is to provide a meaningful experience for everyone.We will evaluate the outcomes described above through audience counts done by our volunteers who are working the front door ticket sales. The Copper Street Brass Quintet artists will also conduct post-concert audience feedback by going into lobbies of the performance venues and talk to audience members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1,300 people attended the concerts presented on our 2014- 2015 Twin Cities Concert Series. In addition, we created two brand-new concert programs and dozens of new arrangements of music that we can use in the future.
