Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

380 people will attend Music in the Trees in 2020, a 30% increase over the audience in 2019, and 50% will be new to Belwin. Through audience and artist surveys we expect to show that 75% of respondents will have experienced musical performance in the woods for the first time. We will capture audience demographics and feedback during the event through six interactive journals placed throughout the site and six roving volunteers taking audience surveys. Following the event, written evaluation will be collected from performers, staff and volunteers.
