Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Free concerts with a variety of award-winning musicians are for all seniors, the handicapped, chemically-dependent, and all others. Much close-in parking and seating, handicapped curbs, and bathrooms. Concert information is distributed led by print, cable, newspapers, radio and social media.We'll count audiences and use online and printed surveys of all concerts. We will request valid emails for future queries and for promoting the next concert. Data from surveys and audience counts. Will establish a baseline for comparing future outcomes. Cable TV concert and interview taping.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The series was able to meet all the goals we had established. We were able to provide a high quality performance venue for community based ensembles, local musicians and professional groups. We also booked ensembles based on feedback from last year's surveys.
