Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We expect to involve 100 professional and amateur musicians in the series this season. We are hoping for 400-450 audience members throughout the season as well. We plan to evaluate our anticipated outcomes via audience/participant count.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our greatest outcome again this past season was our annual Winter Jazz Fest which featured four acts and drew over 75 attendees throughout the day. An event like this brings the entire local jazz scene together, exposes audiences to new groups and music, and serves to demonstrate the strength and diversity of our jazz community.
