Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope that 600 kids and their families sitting close to chamber music will identify with this form of artistic expression. And, we hope that kids see how chamber music is musical teamwork. We plan to survey the program directors of each Rec center where we perform, and we always ask for feedback from the kids at the end. Musicians' feedback is important for organizing repertoire and pacing.

Measurable Outcome(s)

465 people (365 children and 100 adults) heard the Sunshine Concerts. Bakken Trio musicians and their collaborating artists were excited at the response they got, and would like to repeat the experience. Park staff rated us at all 5's (scale of 1-5) on criterion: Clear communication, Performance, Easy to understand concepts, except for 2 who rated it a 4; they thought it could be shorter.
