Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The 10th Annual Byzantine Choral Festival will feature a free workshop and public concert. Based on previous years, the board estimates that 50+ singers will take part in the workshop and 6-8 choirs will present music of diverse ethnic choral traditions of the Byzantine at the concert that will take place at St. Constantine Ukrainian Catholic Church. The board estimates that the audience count will be 300+ and over 90% will indicate in their paper surveys that they will attend the performance in 2018. The performance will be digitally recorded providing effective means for analysis. Feedback will be collected through Artist surveys and Audience surveys. An audience count will be conducted, and post-performance feedback will be collected at the post-concert reception.

Measurable Outcome(s)

There were 450 paricipants and 94% said they would return next year. 67 singers registered for the workshop. The concert featured high level performances. We had two new choirs and four returning choirs participating in the concert. Professional singers and conductors who lead the workshop, enabled participating singers with limited musical literacy to express themselves artistically.
