Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The total audience at the four chamber concerts is expected to be at least 600, with at least 50 first time attendees. The total audience at the community festival Aradhana is expected to be at least 200, with at least 25 participants in individual and group performances. Following each concert, the Executive Committee will review the audience size, artistic success, revenue generated and the overall success of the concerts. This information will be collated, summarized and analyzed by the secretary and PR officers of the Executive Committee and will include audience participation and count, audience surveys and post-performance oral feedback from artists and Executive Committee members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The audience reflected a cross section of our diverse membership that were able to access live streamed or pre-recorded concerts from home. On the average, 50% of the audience derived more enjoyment from such a format, being pleased with the feeling of proximity to the music that an online concert provided them, 25% longed for the traditional live format and 25% did not express a preference.
