Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Two thousand fourth grade students will attend a professional classical music concert featuring world-renown artist Midori. Will build partnership with area schools to give all students opportunity to experience and learn about classical music and live orchestral performances. Student attendance will be tracked via box office ticketing. Teachers will survey students with surveys we provide to learn about their experience for future program planning. Teachers will complete surveys regarding process evaluation and value of event to their music education programs.

Measurable Outcome(s)

More than 1400 fourth graders experienced a high-quality classical music performance with students only a few years older than themselves joining professional musicians. By introducing these students to classical music, seeds were planted that may result in some of them choosing to study music in the future.
