ACHF Arts Access
Our goal is to build on the successes of the first ten years of this series, and continue reaching out to and build an ever broader audience base, with the goal of an average of 90 attendees per concert. Surveys have documented broad appreciation of this series as one of the most rewarding classical musical experiences south of the river; we hope to document that at least 50% of our audience members have invited others to experience the series as well. Evaluation of our outcomes will be measured by audience count through ticket sales. We will also collect audience reaction surveys from the final concert of the series that carefully measure demographics of age, hometown, ethnicity, and other factors, that also solicit audience feedback and suggestions for continuing and improving the series.
Audience surveys showed that 24% of attendees came because a friend invited them. 30% of attendees have invited friends to the concerts, and 40% have told friends about the concerts, reaching or reaching our goal of 50% endorsement of the series through word of mouth. Average attendance (80) fell short of ambitious goals of 90 per concert. This was offset by increased donations and season ticket sales.
