Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The primary evaluation methods are qualitative, including performance feedback from audience members, and a Survey Monkey questionnaire of participants and doctoral student conductor with survey questions designed to measure learning of the life of Bernstein and his music, singers' skills-building, and assessment of workshop components and their contribution to the participants' continued progress on extended learning. Numerical evaluation includes tracking the number of singer participants (budgeted for 130), number of audience participants (budgeted for 430), revenue from ticket sales, and comparison of actual income and expenses to budgeted figures (budgeted at break-even).

Measurable Outcome(s)

146 singers registered and 130 performed. Of those who had to drop for various reasons, not one person asked for all or any of the registration fee to be returned. 130 was our goal. We planned for a paid audience of 430 and 496 tickets stubs were collected at the door. Please refer to Section 1 for detail on participants. Our performance was well received and ended with a standing ovation.
