Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1: Audiences hear a period instrument orchestra for the first time, enjoy the experience, and learn something new. This outcome will be evaluated by using consultant-developed audience surveys distributed and collected at concerts as well as holding conversations with audience members before and after concerts. 2: Central Minnesota audience is supportive enough to consider presenting a concert there each year. This will be evaluated through audience size, survey results, and donations received at concerts.
