Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Total audience at the four concerts is expected to be at least 600, with at least 50 first time attendees. The total audience at the community festival Aradhana is expected to be at least 200, with at least 25 participants in individual and group performances. Following each concert, the Executive Committee will review the audience size, artistic success, revenue generated and the overall success of the concerts. This information will be collated, summarized and analyzed by the secretary and PR officers of the Executive Committee and will include audience participation and count, audience surveys and post-performance oral feedback from artists and Executive Committee members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Last season IMSOM averaged 200 people/concert. Surveyed attendees felt their ability to understand and appreciate the music had improved over the years. Another great outcome was the large number of individuals looking to train in tabla, vocal and instrumental music with area teachers. IMSOM is now a stable member of the MN art scene, bringing the best in Indian Classical Music to its residents.
