Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to have at least 2,000 attend our concerts during the project and have most of them interact before the concerts, during intermission, and after the concerts with our musicians, composers, soloists, and music director. We hope our feedback shows that the majority of our audience and our musicians understand and/or appreciate the connections we will make between the new and/or unfamiliar music we present and the music from the standard repertoire. We will count the number of attendees and observe the number of them interacting with the musicians, composers, soloists, and music director. We will get post-performance feedback from musician surveys and audience surveys, as well as conversations and e-mail communications with our audience and musicians.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Almost 3,500 people attended our concerts, and over 200 musicians, composers, and animations artists were involved in our project. Feedback showed that the vast majority of our audience was excited by and learned from our new music, and saw connections with our standard repertoire pieces.
