Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

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: The host communities will establish support for future baroque music performances. This outcome will be evaluated through audience size, survey results, concert donation levels, and feedback/reports of action from key community members within a few days following the concert.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Audiences were able to hear and learn about period instruments. We were able to track number of viewers of our videos via the websites used to disseminate our digital content. 2: Communities were made aware of our digital content and encouraged to attend future events. Lyra has been invited back to produce live concerts in the 2022-2023 season.
