Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The musical quality of the concert series has already been secured by virtue of the artistry of the participating ensembles. Therefore, we will focus on Concert Attendance as a measurable outcome, with an overall goal of having at least 300 people attend the series in total. We will keep a journal of statistics about each of the concerts. In it, the actual on-site count of the number of participating musicians and audience members will be recorded, so we can total these figures at the conclusion of the series.

Measurable Outcome(s)

This year we were the host of four different world premieres of original jazz compositions spread across several different weeks and ensembles, with every concert being mostly original works. The series features a CD release, and a first ever double ensemble presentation. This year there was a vast increase in the number Jazz composers and band leaders who approached me about future involvement
