Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We expect to attract about 800 spectators to our concert. We strive to get satisfaction and positive responses from more than 70% of audience. Artistic success will be measured based on ticket sales, artists feedback, and audience response to the performance. We plan to provide free admissions to 20-30 artists in metro area and invite them to the concert. Survey forms will be given to artists to collect their feedback. Audience will also be given evaluation forms to fill out and asked to provide feedback. The Board will review all the quantitative and qualitative assessment results for the concert, and create a report for artists involved in this concert, advisory board members and performers.

Measurable Outcome(s)

After the concert, we conducted a survey among artists who participated the concert performance. More than 95% of them responded very positively and expressed their strong interest in participating in future projects. We also telephone-interviewed about 200 spectators. In this survey, more than 73% of spectators responded very positively and positively to the artistic quality of the concert.
