Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our goal for better serving our audience is to deepen our audience's understanding and gut response to the music. With that in mind, we aim for 75% of the audience to indicate a significant emotional response to the music, despite the language barrier (Italian text versus mostly English-speaking audience). In addition, we would like for our artists to indicate that creative process deepened their abilities to communicate as individual and ensemble musicians. In quantitative terms, we aim for 150 people to attend performances, at least 25% of which have never attended a Glorious Revolution concert. We will take audience counts at each concert, and each person will receive a survey, which - if they complete it - will enter them into a raffle. Following the performance, we will also distribute an artist survey.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As noted above, our first-time attendees were just under 25%. Our total audience attendance was under our original goal, totaling 112. However all audience who responded to our poll questions reacted positively to our concerts. A number of them commented that we should attempt supertitles in the future, and several wished they had more information in video/audio form as part of our promotions.
