Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

120 people attended the concerts presented by 14 different musicians. Feedback showed at least 75% of audience members were introduced to new repertoire and were excited by the intimately-presented concerts. Flying Forms will evaluate the series of concerts via conversations with audiences and musicians. We will also count audience size and total ticket sales to evaluate the project.

Measurable Outcome(s)

270 people attended concerts by 14 musicians. Surveys and conversation showed that 20% of the audience were new to performance practice, and 80% of the audience heard repertoire that was new to them.
