Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We plan to reach a total of about 200 adult and twenty child participants, not counting repeat audience members between performances, with an increase of participation through word-of-mouth endorsements at each residence through the course of the series. We hope audience surveys will show 85% of participants feel they have enhanced their capacity to understand and enjoy classical music, and that all activity directors will rate this one of the strongest educational programs they offer. Audience evaluations are a combination of attendance counts, informal discussions with participants after each program, and, after the last presentation, a simple formal survey, incentivized by book and CD Door prizes and assisted by residence staff where needed. Activity Directors receive more detailed surveys about how the programs met their expectations, with space to related audience reactions and impacts, facilitated by providing a self-addressed, stamped envelope to complete and return at their convenience.
